Enhancing international cooperation in combat of corruption-related crime

The Department of Foreign Relations under the Ministry of Public Security, in coordination with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), organized an anti-corruption training workshop with the theme of investigating and prosecuting complex and transnational cases of corruption, from January 27 to 29 in Hoi An, Da Nang City.

The workshop was the next phase of the UNODC capacity-building program on investigating complex and transnational corruption cases (Phase 1 and Phase 2 were held in 2024 and 2025 respectively), funded by the United States Government.

Overview of the workshop.

The workshop brought together more than 40 participants, including leaders and senior investigators from under-ministerial departments and provincial-level police units, who had previously attended Phase 1 and Phase 2, as well as representatives from the procuracy sector and local banking institutions.

The principal trainers were Mr. Jason Reichelt and Mr. Adrian Banu, UNODC experts in criminal justice, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering.

International cooperation in anti-corruption efforts is of great importance to each country, including Vietnam, particularly when it aims at enhancing capacity and coordination in handling cross-border and transnational corruption cases. Such cooperation also contributes to improving transparency, promoting fair competition and increasing the attractiveness of Vietnam’s market.

Currently, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam is working closely with UNODC in implementing the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and UNODC’s Global Programme against Corruption.

During the workshop, participants discussed procedures for the investigation and prosecution of organized criminal groups in complex, transnational corruption cases, based on a simulated scenario developed by UNODC drawing on Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Participants also explored the application of blockchain technology in investigating corruption, money laundering and financial fraud through practical exercises and case studies.

UNODC experts highly appreciated the professional capacity and expertise of participants from the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security, and expressed their confirmation to continue organizing similar training programs at more advanced and specialized levels in the future.
