In this webinar sponsored by Ground Truth Intelligence, we explore the challenges faced by investigators running investigations based in the Middle East and Africa.

Investigators running investigations in the region on the ground or remotely face significant challenges. We will explore what information investigators can obtain at their fingertips, what resources are available and how they can access them, what are the key challenges and how do investigations work in reality.  The ACi and GTI have brought together MEA based Heads of Investigations managing their teams and investigation in this complex area, using case specific examples.
