On Monday, 15 June 2026, in Brazzaville, the National Agency for Financial Investigation (ANIF)‑Congo inaugurated a five‑day training programme aimed at strengthening the capacities of investigators to identify, seize and recover criminal assets. The opening ceremony featured the presence of Anne Marchal, Ambassador of the European Union to Congo, alongside senior officials from the Congolese police, gendarmerie and the Ministry of Justice. The curriculum, delivered by international experts through the SecFin Africa project, covered legal frameworks, technical methods for asset tracing, forensic accounting, and international cooperation protocols. Participants engaged in practical exercises simulating real‑world scenarios, enhancing their ability to follow money‑laundering trails and to apply asset recovery measures in line with global standards. The training underscores ANIF’s mandate to combat corruption and illicit financial flows, reinforcing the Republic of Congo’s commitment to transparent governance and the rule of law. By equipping law enforcement with advanced tools and knowledge, the initiative seeks to deter financial crimes, recover proceeds of corruption and contribute to broader socio‑economic stability.
