Latvia has embarked on an ambitious agenda to tackle the challenges posed by complex
types of criminality to public prosecution services, with particular emphasis on economic
and financial crimes. This report carries out a benchmark analysis of Latvia’s prosecution
practices along with those in ten OECD member countries, international good practices
and the experience of globally renowned prosecution experts. It takes stock of the
good practices implemented in the prosecution to date, and examines the importance
of a broad range of policy aspects that can drive better performance. These include
strategic management tools, the use of data and strengthening co-operation across
the whole of the justice chain. Finally, it formulates policy recommendations to support
Latvia in strengthening the performance of its prosecution services.
