Description
This opportunity from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), U.S. Department of State, funds a single organization to support Bosnia and Herzegovina’s State Prosecutor’s Office (SPO) in combating transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). The program will enable the SPO’s analytical center to develop advanced data analytics, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and tailored investigative mentoring to disrupt TCO networks, with a focus on illicit finance, corruption, narcotics trafficking, and cross-border crime. The project aims to embed data-driven analysis in prosecutorial workflows, provide case-based mentoring, improve management of financial and cryptocurrency evidence, strengthen interagency and international collaboration, and promote the use of analytical evidence in court.
