Açıklama

(ANSA) - QUITO, 06 LUG - The Italian Ambassador to Ecuador, Giovanni Davoli, inaugurated the seminar “Financial Intelligence and Investigation of Environmental Crimes” in Quito. The five-day event was organized by the local office of UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime), in collaboration with the embassies of Italy, Brazil, and Canada, and is intended for judicial and law enforcement officials. In his remarks, the ambassador emphasized that “criminal organizations exist, above all, because they are able to transform violence into economic power. And when that economic power infiltrates the legal economy, institutions, commercial chains, and local communities, crime ceases to be an isolated phenomenon and becomes a direct threat to democracy.” For this reason, Italy launched a legal diplomacy program in Ecuador in 2024, Itajus, implemented by IILA, whose objective is to contribute to strengthening Ecuadorian institutions in the areas of security, justice, and the correctional system, with a clear focus on the fight against organized crime. Davoli also highlighted the agreement that Itajus signed last March with UNODC, because “the fight against organized crime requires coordination, technical expertise, international cooperation, and trust among institutions.” Read article...
