Fight against corruption
The World Bank is to train police, prosecutors and court staff on how to combat money laundering and financial terrorism under a national scheme to fight corruption. The three-day training will be offered in partnership with the Anti-Corruption Unit to 37 employees from organizations including the Phnom Penh Municipal Court. Om Yentieng, president of the ACU, said trainees from the scheme will become basic instructors who will return to their workplaces and train colleagues in how to stamp out money laundering. “Stopping money laundering and the financing of terrorism is the ACU’s main duty,” Mr. Yentieng said. “We must be at the center of the movement against corruption.”
