ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Officers from the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, Financial Investigation Agency, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Attorney General’s Chambers underwent training to strengthen their capabilities in financial investigations.

The cohort of law enforcement officers and officials participated in a specialist UK-funded two-week training course, delivered by the UK’s National Crime Agency Proceeds of Crime Centre from November 26 to December 6, 2024.

They completed two courses focusing on financial investigation, and asset restraint and confiscation. Financial investigation plays a crucial role in combatting illicit finance and ensuring the Virgin Islands meets international standards, a press release on December 13, 2024 said.

Governor Daniel Pruce said, “This essential training has served as an opportunity to collaborate with the UK, and highlights our commitment to supporting the Foreign Secretary’s campaign to crack down on corruption and illicit finance. I am grateful for the NCA’s support in delivering this crucial step in protecting the Virgin Islands from the challenges faced by illicit finance.”
