The University of Valencia launches the first edition of the Diploma en Investigació i Prova del Delictes Económics i Relacionats amb la corrupció, (Diploma in Research and Testing-Related Economic Crimes and Corruption), piooner and unique in Spain, which will be made between March and November. The course is addressed to lawyers, economists, journalists, membres of the judiciary, police or security forces of the State.
The sessions offer integral training on all the factors involved in the reality of organized crime and corruption. As details her director, the Professor of Criminal Law of the University of Valencia Ángela Matallín, will tackle “in a complet and a complex way crimes such as subornation, misappropiation of funds and related crime; money laundering, misrepresentation and fraud”.
The persecution of this type of crimes is particularly complicated because it requires highly specialized training, the reason for which this course has been created, explains Matallin, who also emphasizes “ the insufficient number of judges dedicated to these criminal behaviours”, although they occupy a “ priviliged place among different ways of criminality”.
Only in the area of corruption, over 300 Spanish politicians are currently charged for this cause. It is in times of economic difficulties as the current, according to Matallín, when society becomes more active and react with major awareness against these forms of delinquence. “With crisis increases investigations and persecutions”, he concludes.
The teaching staff who will teach this diploma is composed by professors of the Department of Criminal Law and the Institute of Criminology of the University of Valencia, and specialized professionals in investigation and prosecution of these forms of criminality.
