EUAM Ukraine travels to Riga to link up Ukrainian and Latvian anti-corruption agencies

It was agreed in principle to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between NABU and the Corruption Prevention and Combating Bureau (KNAB) of Latvia while discussing future cooperation, mechanisms and anti-corruption measures with the Director of KNAB, Jaroslavs Streļčenoks. The Ukrainian delegation also visited the Internal Security Bureau and held a meeting with the International Co-operation Division of the Prosecutor’s General Office of Latvia, where close co-ordination in processing of requests for international legal assistance was addressed.

Considering the quantity of illicit financial flows from Ukraine to Latvia, effective co-operation between NABU and law-enforcement agencies in Latvia is of high strategic importance when it comes to fighting financial crime.
