Through its global work, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT) provides expert assistance and case-based mentoring to foreign counterparts to address corruption issues that not only impact their countries but also foster transnational criminal activities.  Corruption indeed is a global issue and OPDAT is proud to join in the recognition of International Anti-Corruption Day.

OPDAT’s Senior Counsel on Global Anticorruption provides specialized technical advice, training, and consultation to foreign prosecutors, judges, and investigators around the world. OPDAT’s anticorruption program assists counterparts from other jurisdictions in analyzing, investigating, and prosecuting corruption pursuant to international standards, including the UN Convention Against Corruption. OPDAT’s anticorruption program aids U.S. law enforcement efforts by strengthening international cooperation and promoting evidence sharing around the globe.    

Additionally, OPDAT Resident Legal Advisors and OPDAT’s work with counterparts to address a broad array of anti-corruption matters and related issues -- such as financial crimes, money laundering, fraud, and cybercrime that facilitate corruption -- along with asset forfeiture and recovery.

OPDAT is recognizing International Anti-Corruption Day through its programs in the Baltics, Burma, Mexico, and North Macedonia.

You took the words RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. You simply cannot make this SHYT up. Un-effing-believable.

“...expert assistance and case-based mentoring to foreign counterparts to address corruption issues that not only impact their countries but also foster transnational criminal activities. Corruption indeed is a global issue and OPDAT is proud to join in the recognition of International Anti-Corruption Day.”

SICK, tone-deaf bastards. Why the HELL can’t they begin to apply just a little bit of that “expert assistance” here at home?

God, I HATE government.

Ransom, you credited the wrong website.

This is from The Onion, or The Babylon Bee.

No one would believe the US Justice Department is against corruption! What a joke!

The DOJ has been mopping up crime that Obama allowed to fester. I often see crimes documented from when Obama reigned - those people he let commit billions in fraud thought they got away with it.Wrong.

The Federal attorneys still have criminals embedded but PResident Trump has been replacing them one after another.
