U.S.-funded AML/CFT workshops in Albania aim to strengthen investigations and prosecutions

Tirana — Four intensive three-day workshops on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism were delivered in February–March 2026 as part of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s ongoing support to Albania to build investigative and prosecutorial capacity.

The training was delivered to key national counterparts and funded by the United States of America. Coordination was carried out through Albania’s Financial Intelligence Agency, the body responsible for financial intelligence functions in the country. According to the organizers, the workshops aimed to enhance national investigative and prosecutorial capabilities in line with international standards.

The initiative forms part of continuing support to strengthen Albania’s capacities for effective AML/CFT across its institutions.
