Update: Anti-corruption training action in Maputo, Beira and Nampula
12:14 CAT | 04 Sep 2017
A total of 60 Mozambican magistrates, researchers and finance officials will receive anti-corruption training on money laundering and drug trafficking starting today.
Courses will run until September 29 in Maputo, Beira and Nampula, with 20 participants per city. The beneficiaries will include magistrates, judges and public prosecutors, members of criminal investigation services and staff of banking and financial services institutions in the country.
The training programme is part of the Project to Support the Consolidation of the Rule of Law in the PALOP-TL (PACED) funded by the European Union and the Camões Institute for Cooperation and Language.
The training will be directed by Mozambican specialists themselves trained in Portugal in the last year by the Portuguese Judicial Studies Centre and by the School of Judicial Police.
During a public debate on corruption held by civil society organizations in Maputo on June 15, Public Integrity Centre lawyer and researcher Baltazar Faela said that Mozambican public prosecutors systematically targeted so-called “small corruption” and ignored “big corruption” involving members of the government and senior state figures.
A month later, reviewing the first half of his presidential term, Filipe Nyusi promised to “vigorously combat corruption in all its manifestations”.
