At the National Council for Financial Investigation and Asset Confiscation’s constitutive session on Monday, EU Ambassador Rokas said not only imprisonment, but also seizing funds was the most effective way to defeat crime.
The EU, he added, constantly modernized its acquis in order to respond to quick criminal trends. In that regard, the Ambassador pointed to the Asset Recovery Directive as a key roadmap.
He also acknowledged DPM Fetai over the formation of the Council, saying it was clear proof of the country’s commitment to severe forms of crime and money laundering.
