IACC Day 3: Tuesday, November 29, 2022:
​Welcome by Mayor Welch;
Workshop on Combating Corruption Through Government Transparency;
Global Cryptocurrency Challenges


​Workshop Discussants: Chief Anthony Holloway, St. Petersburg Police Department;
Mark Brutnell, Special Agent in Charge, Tampa Bay Regional Operations Center, Florida Department of Law Enforcement;
Brian Capra, 
Director of Strategic Applications, Chainalysis
The day began with welcoming words from St. Petersburg Mayor Kenneth Welch, with individual greetings and photos with each of the visitors. Chief Holloway opened the workshop on “Combating Corruption Through Government Transparency”, and described how local, state and Federal law enforcement collaborate multi-jurisdictional task forces dedicated to specific issues, task force leadership, and law enforcement roles. His discussion of how law enforcement works together across multiple jurisdictions was particularly interesting to the group, and he presented a current case study of how law enforcement collaborated to break up a multi-million dollar drug smuggling and distribution network in the Tampa Bay area.

FDLE Special Agent in Charge Brutnell spoke to the issues including narcotics trafficking, and regional security issues. During Q&A, both discussants addressed how corruption investigations are handled within law enforcement, and at various levels of local and state government.
 
Brian Capra drew on his lengthy government experience in financial crimes investigations and his current private sector role to discuss how the development of cryptocurrency has created law enforcement and national security issues for governments around the world. His deep dive into the DarkNet markets, mapping out illicit networks, ransomware, and sanctions evasion created a lively discussion with the group and a deeper understanding of cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
 
While most of the group departed for the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts for an afternoon exploring the museum collection and a special exhibit of Auguste Rodin…
 
Colombian Judge Marco Antonio Rueda Soto went to Stetson University College of Law for his one-on-one meeting with Professor Luz Estella Nagle. Professor Nagle, who specializes in international law, international criminal law, transborder criminal law, and national security law, is a native of Colombia, and, as a young judge in Medellin, adjudicated drug lords and political corruption. Professor Nagle has dedicated more than two decades of distinguished service to the International Bar Association, currently serving as a Trustee of the IBA’s Human Rights Institute Trust. Her special assignments include having served on task forces on terrorism, corruption, criminal justice reform, and as Vice Chair of the IBA President’s Task Force against Human Trafficking. Their two-hour discussion on combating corruption included an opportunity for her law students to meet and talk with Judge Rueda.
