The increased use of cyberspace and technology have brought with them challenges to administration of justice. Related to this is the increase in use of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin whose regulation is largely still not well understood, and therefore prone to being used by criminals to facilitate their activities.
Successful investigation of such crimes requires an improvement in the skills and capacity of law enforcement, lawyers, prosecutors, investigators and other judicial officers in areas such as forensic accounting.
As part of AGA-Africa’s effort to facilitate the exchange knowledge members of the justice, law and order sectors in Rwanda, AGA-Africa in collaboration with the Institute of Legal Practice and Development (ILPD) held another two-day workshop on Cryptocurrencies and Trade-based Money Laundering from 19th – 21st April in Rwanda following a successful first one that took place on 23rd – 25th March, 2021.
