About the International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR)

ICAR is a specialist centre of the Basel Institute on Governance that works with countries around the world to strengthen their capacities to recover stolen assets. Particular emphasis is placed on hands-on mentoring to assist practitioners from law enforcement and prosecution authorities in conducting financial investigations, developing suitable strategies for the prosecution of corruption and economic crime offences and to identify, restraining and confiscating proceeds of crime.

About our programme in Moldova

ICAR has engaged a Senior Asset Recovery Specialist to work with key stakeholders to strengthen Moldova’s “asset recovery delivery chain” in financial investigation, international cooperation and confiscation/asset recovery. With funding requested for an initial six-month inception phase, the specialist will build on existing ICAR interventions with Government of Moldova partners. It is anticipated that this inception phase will result in a longer-term programme of support to Government of Moldova partners.

A particular focus of this programme is the enhancement of mutual legal assistance (MLA) capabilities within partner agencies. The appointed expert will be responsible for disseminating the recently produced MLA guidelines for Moldova, as well as mentoring law enforcement and prosecutors on the preparation of MLA guidelines.

Responsibilities

The Programme Officer (Administration and Translation) will facilitate dynamic communication between the Senior Specialist, Asset Recovery (and other staff of the Basel Institute on Governance), and our Government of Moldova counterparts, including the General Prosecutor’s Office (GPO), the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (APO); and the Specialised Prosecutor’s Office on Organised Crime and Special Cases (PCCOCS), and other State institutions.

Within this role, the Programme Officer will engage in daily iterative oral and written communication with counterparts as well as support local logistical and administrative needs of the Basel Institute on Governance team in Moldova.
