Interviewing techniques

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the question of interviewing and its place and importance in cartel investigations. It attempts to draw together established practices, research and law on the subject of interviewing and to highlight the experiences of a number of agencies who have contributed to the compilation of the chapter. However, as with previous chapters, the relevance of some sections of the chapter will largely be determined by the legal environment that governs each individual agency’s enforcement policies and activities. The aim of the chapter is to be as inclusive as possible and provide information to ICN members for their own consideration and assessment in light of the legal principles that apply to them.
