Lubango – The Attorney General of the Republic of Angola, Hélder Pitta Gróz, on Wednesday, in Lubango, highlighted the continuous commitment to improvement of staff, to minimize corruption, in the country.
The magistrate, who was speaking during the working visit of his counterpart from Mozambique to Huíla province, stated that the role of the Attorney General's Office (PGR) is permanent, but criminality walks ahead of the institution, forcing a dignified and permanent improvement of staff.
As an example, he stated that last week a training session was completed with specialists from the American Treasury who were at the PGR to provide training to local magistrates on money laundering, human trafficking, among other topics, to reinforce staff in order to provide an efficient response to cases.
“Corruption is an evil that does not go away that’s why we have to continue working. We have to try to minimize it together with all other systems in the country by lessening the possibility of corruption acts to happen corruption”, he reinforced.
In her turn, the Attorney General of the Republic of Mozambique, Beatriz Buchili, stressed that the prevention and fight against corruption is an international challenge and her country is exchanging experiences with Angola, in training and specialization of magistrates to combat it.
She reaffirmed that cooperation is, above all, in mutual-legal assistance, in the investigation of crimes of corruption at various levels.
The visit by the PGR of Mozambique to Angola is part of the reinforcement of legal and judicial cooperation that has existed between the two institutions for years, in the political, economic and social areas.
As well as Huíla, the magistrate visited Luanda and will travel to Namibe this Thursday, on a six-day stay in Angola.
