The National Anti-Corruption Center will take over the investigation of serious economic and financial crimes and the recovery of criminal assets. Also, a specialized subdivision for the investigation of virtual assets will be created within the institution. The provisions are contained in a project adopted by the Parliament, which also provides for the increase of the CNA’s staff limit by 150 positions, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n
The approved document provides for changes also to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, which will focus on criminal prosecution in corruption cases involving high-ranking officials. At the same time, the institution will play a coordinating and supervising role over all corruption cases, including those handled by CNA officers, as well as financial fraud cases.<\/p>\n\n
The Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Organized Crime and Special Cases will remain responsible for highly complex cases, including those of terrorism, organized crime, and cross-border offenses, while cases that do not present a high degree of difficulty will be excluded from its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n
Also, the Money Laundering Prevention and Combating Service will function as an independent financial analysis authority, with the role of collecting information about suspicious transactions and transmitting them to the competent institutions for investigations.<\/p>\n\n
The measures are part of the National Program for the modernization of the investigation and prosecution system in the field of combating corruption, organized crime, financial fraud, money laundering and other illicit activities for the years 2026-2027 and the action plan for its implementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
