Regulatory AlertsCriminal Justice (International Cooperation) Act (Revised 2020)
The Government of The Virgin Islands issued this revised 2020 Act to consolidate and amend legislation enabling international cooperation in criminal proceedings, investigations, and the implementation of the Vienna Convention. The legislation establishes procedures for the mutual service of legal process, the exchange and transfer of evidence, and the cross-border transfer of prisoners to assist foreign investigations or proceedings. It further empowers the Attorney General and Director of Public Prosecutions to direct investigations, enforce overseas forfeiture orders, manage proceeds of drug trafficking, and exercise jurisdiction over offences committed on Virgin Islands ships.
