The IRZ and the National Judicial School of Ukraine held a training event for the judges of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine from 20-23 March 2023; another was planned for 3 April 2023.

The subject of combating money laundering was the focus of the training course, which is required by law for the judiciary in Ukraine. Walter Selter, former Prosecutor General, discussed the definition, manifestations, legal regulations and international character of money laundering as an expert from the IRZ.

A total of 38 judges from the High Anti-Corruption Court and the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court took part in the training.

The phenomenon of corruption undermines the rule of law and market structures and is therefore a major obstacle to investment. The topic of combating corruption is therefore also a particular focus of the work of the IRZ, particularly as the recommendations of the EU Commission on Ukraine's candidate status state these points.

This is another area in which the IRZ will continue the cooperation with the Ukraine.
