Cooperation with Interpol to Trace Corruption Funds

The Public Authority for Combating Corruption (Nazaha) held a meeting with representatives of the Arab and International Criminal Police Department at the Ministry of Interior to discuss ways to enhance cooperation and joint coordination, and to leverage the tools, mechanisms, and initiatives offered by the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), thereby supporting national efforts to prevent and combat corruption, as well as to trace and recover assets derived from such crimes. During the meeting, Brigadier General Tariq Al-Khudhair, Director of the Arab and International Criminal Police Department, presented an overview outlining the department’s role, along with the key tools, services, and communication channels that Interpol provides to member states, particularly in the areas of information exchange, asset tracing, and strengthening international police cooperation and coordination. This meeting aligns with Nazaha’s commitment to enhancing integration and coordination with relevant national authorities, expanding cooperation with specialized regional and international organizations and networks, and utilizing available international expertise and tools to improve the efficiency of national anti-corruption efforts and strengthen international cooperation in asset tracing and recovery.

On another front, in line with Nazaha’s commitment to broadening cooperation and partnership with national institutions, the Authority held a meeting yesterday with the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Talent and Creativity, during which ways to enhance joint cooperation and exchange expertise in areas of mutual interest were discussed. The meeting also addressed opportunities to develop joint initiatives and programs that support youth potential, foster their creative capacities, and enhance their participation in consolidating values of integrity and transparency, thereby opening new horizons for institutional cooperation and serving shared national objectives.
