To further refine investigators’ skills, the center offers regular training sessions focused on improving technical competence. Additionally, experts conduct in-depth studies of individual cases nationwide, shedding light on the intricacies of financial crimes and identifying potential vulnerabilities in the country’s financial system.

International Cooperation

The Research and Training Center for Financial Crime Investigation also places a strong emphasis on international cooperation, fostering exchange programs with foreign law enforcement agencies to share best practices and expertise. By doing so, Japan can leverage global knowledge and insights to stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape.
