U.S. Department of Justice to sponsor Study Visit to Italy for Organized Crime Prosecutors

U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Overseas Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT), a program managed by the U.S. Embassy’s Resident Legal Advisor's Office, is sponsoring a five-day study visit for two Organized Crime Deputy Prosecutors to Italy.

The prosecutors are visiting with the Italian Anti-Mafia Directorate from November 20-25, 2005 to observe the Italian model of fighting organized crime and to discuss witness collaborators, special investigative techniques and international cooperation.

Combating transnational crime is both regional and global effort. Italy has a long history of combating organized crime, and this exchange of experience will not only contribute to Serbia's capacity to fight transnational organized crime but will enhance the cooperation of Serbian prosecutors with their Italian counterparts.

Ministarstvo pravde SAD sponzoriše studijsko putovanje tužilaca za organizovani kriminal u Italiju

Ministarstvo pravde SAD - Kancelarija za međunarodnu pomoć, usavršavanje i profesionalnu obuku u krivičnom gonjenju (OPDAT), u okviru programa koji vodi Kancelarija stalnog pravnog savetnika pri Ambasadi SAD u Beogradu, će sponzorisati petodnevno putovanje dva zamenika Specijalnog tužioca za organizovani kriminal u Italiju.

Tužioci će posetiti italijansku Upravu za borbu protiv mafije od 20.-25. novembra i razmatrati italijanski model borbe protiv organizovanog kriminala, kao i institut svedoka saradnika, specijalne istražne mere i međunarodnu saradnju. Ovo studijsko putovanje će doprineti unapređenju kapaciteta Specijalnog tužilaštva u daljoj borbi protiv organizovanog kriminala i unaprediti njihovu saradnju sa italijanskim kolegama.

Suzbijanje organizovanog kriminala je regionalni i opšti cilj. Italija ima dugu istoriju u borbi protiv organizovanog kriminala, i ova razmena iskustava će poboljšati kapacitet Srbije da se bori protiv organizovanog kriminala kao i saradnju srpskih tužioca sa Italijanskim kolegama.
