Strengthening financial integrity and combating corruption are essential to Timor-Leste’s transparent and accountable development. U.S-supported training programs continue to build the professional capacity of national institutions leading this work. As part of our Freedom 250 commemorations, we are pleased to highlight Lo**ta Abrantes, Department Chief at PCIC, who has participated in multiple U.S.-supported programs, including Cryptocurrency Training (2018), Law Enforcement and Leadership Development (2023), and the Anticorruption Series – Financial Investigations Course (2023).
Abrantes shared that these programs deepened her understanding of financial investigations, including how to investigate cryptocurrency-related crimes, strengthen leadership within an institution, make informed decisions in unlawful act cases, and conduct effective interviews in corruption investigations. She also valued the opportunities to learn from international colleagues and strengthen cooperation to combat crime across borders.
As the United States celebrates Freedom 250, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting institutions that uphold justice, transparency, and accountability. Leaders like Lo**ta demonstrate how cooperation between the United States and Timor-Leste contributes to a stronger, more resilient future.

A strong and independent justice sector is essential to Timor-Leste’s democratic development, and U.S.-supported training programs continue to help build the capacity of national institutions in this critical area. As part of our Freedom 250 commemorations, we are pleased to highlight Domingos Gouveia Barreto, a Prosecutor of the Republic with the Office of the Prosecutor General, who participated in the ILEA Financial Investigation trainings in 2016 and 2025. Barreto shared that the specialized instruction he received through ILEA significantly enhanced his technical and legal capabilities as a prosecutor. The training strengthened his ability to understand, identify, and investigate financial crimes using effective financial investigation techniques – contributing directly to Timor-Leste’s efforts to combat financial wrongdoing and uphold the rule of law. As the United States celebrates Freedom 250, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting institutions that protect justice, transparency, and accountability. Leaders like Domingos reflect the shared dedication of the United States and Timor-Leste to building a fair, resilient, and secure future.

Meet Januario “Janu” Rangel-Soares, a distinguished leader in the development sector with more than 18 years of experience working with grassroots organizations, civil society, and the UN. Rangel-Soares has made significant contributions to justice and anti-corruption initiatives in Timor-Leste, notably through his roles as Project Manager for the UNDP Justice System Program and Country Lead for the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative. In 2026, Janu was selected as a Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar for the Council on Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at Yale University.

He engaged with renowned professors, connected with international scholars, delivered guest lectures at universities such as Ithaca College and UNC Chapel Hill, and participated in dynamic discussions and workshops at Yale – all experiences with a lasting impact. Rangel-Soares’ Fulbright experience has directly enriched his current work as a Lead Researcher Consultant for non-profit organizations and academic institutions in Timor-Leste and across Southeast Asia.
