Anti-Corruption Expert of the CSO Anti-Corruption Coalition of Armenia, Lawyer Mr. Arnold Vardanyan, presented the results and recommendations of monitoring on combating corruption.

“With the involvement of international experts, it is necessary to organize special trainings for investigators, prosecutors and judges dealing with certain crimes of corruption, including illicit enrichment; develop guidelines on the methodology for investigating certain crimes, and ensure their continuous professional development,” he mentioned among the recommendations identified as a result of monitoring.

According to him, it is necessary to amend and adopt the RA Law On Legal Assistance in Criminal Cases, which provides opportunities for international cooperation in corruption cases, which will provide an opportunity for criminal prosecution bodies to cooperate more effectively with international structures in order to find and prosecute persons accused of committing alleged crimes of a corruption nature.
