The Center for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption (CCECC) is an agency in charge of coordinating anti-corruption efforts across agencies in Moldova. With 543 Permanent Staff and 140 investigators, the CCECC handled 1410 cases annually. The government appointed the head of the Anti-Corruption Agency CCECC and also had the authority to remove the head of the CCECC.
The annual budget for the agency was in the region of 4 million dollars. Whilst Moldova has freedom of information legislation and conflict of interest legislation, employees of CCECC were not protected by law from recrimination or other negative consequences when reporting corruption, acts that are also known as ‘whistle-blowing’. Here we give an overview of the CCECC:
The Center for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption (CCECC) was established in June 6, 2002, representing a central public authority with legal responsibilities within several departments. The CCECC also coordinated the activities of anti-money laundering supervisory authorities and cooperated with international organizations dealing with the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing activities.
