Combating Sports Corruption
The "Combating Sports Corruption" grant is aimed at funding projects that enhance the skills of prosecutors, financial intelligence units, and other stakeholders to fight corruption and financial crimes in sports, by improving investigative techniques, fostering collaboration among key entities, and regulating sports and sports betting.
Description
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to build capacity for specialized prosecutors, State and Federal financial intelligence units, regulators, and other stakeholders to counter corruption and financial crime related to corruption in sports. The project will seek to create and improve procedures and/or investigative techniques on anti-corruption and anti-money laundering related to sports. In addition, this project will facilitate more effective collaboration between specialized prosecutors' offices, financial intelligence units, sports governing bodies (e.g. Olympic committee, sports federations), and government agencies that regulate sports and sports betting.
