TunisiaEU-funded CyberSouth: Regional Workshop on interagency cooperation on the search, seizure and confiscation of on-line crime proceeds
On 25 February, the EU-funded CyberSouth project organised a Regional Workshop on interagency cooperation on the search, seizure and confiscation of on-line crime proceeds, following an event on the same theme on 1 July 2020. Almost 50 participants, representing law enforcement agencies, judges and prosecutors, and the Financial Investigation Units dealing with money laundering on the internet from the five priority countries attended this workshop.
The goal of this meeting was to familiarize the project countries with international standards on seizing cryptocurrencies, promoted by the Council of Europe’s Guide. Moreover, the regional workshop was an occasion to develop the concepts of interagency cooperation, domestic Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and training on the search, seizure, and confiscation of online crime proceeds.
The workshop enabled the project to better understand the countries’ needs as well as existing national practices and legislative frameworks on seizing cryptocurrencies.
CyberSouth is a joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe. It contributes to the prevention and control of cybercrime and other offences involving electronic evidence in the region of the Southern Neighbourhood, in line with international human rights and rule of law standards and good practices.
