València, November 28, 2023.- The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency has participated as a teacher in the course “Crimes against the public administration: fraud in administrative contracting” organized by the Center for Legal Studies under the Ministry of Justice.
The course was held on November 27 and 28 in Madrid and was aimed at prosecutors with the aim of acquiring knowledge in this area given their high specialization and thus being able to safely address cases of administrative contracting of great technical-procedural complexity.
The course was inaugurated by the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, and was attended by the Agency, the Director of Analysis and Research, Gustavo Segura, and the head of the Support and Expertise Unit, Amparo Martí, who presented the contracting in the public sector and the experience in the Agency in the main problems that arise in the execution of these contracts.
Other topics discussed throughout the two days were the most controversial aspects of embezzlement crimes, the problems associated with extrajudicial credit recognitions or the administrative malfeasance of authorities and public officials.
The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency has been collaborating with the State Attorney General’s Office for several years in different training activities for prosecutors and this collaboration, which covers other areas of action, materialized with the signing of a collaboration agreement between both institutions on June 19.
