DeVillers was sent to Iraq in 2004 by the Department of Justice to investigate a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
DeVillers continued his work overseas, most notably the Department of Justice’s Resident Legal Advisor to the Republic of Georgia, living in the capital city of Tbilisi from 2010 to 2012. He worked closely with the Georgian Ministry of Justice to combat trans-national crime, corruption and international money laundering. He also assisted in the drafting of Georgia’s Criminal Code and the introduction of jury trials in murder cases.
DeVillers has also traveled for the Department of Justice to countries including Ukraine, Albania, Bangladesh, Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan to combat terrorism, transnational crime and corruption.
DeVillers received the Mark Losey Distinguished Service Award by the Ohio Attorney General in 2018. He was awarded the J. Michael Bradford Memorial Award for the Nation’s Most Outstanding Assistant United States Attorney by The National Association of Former United States Attorneys in 2008. He was voted the Outstanding Assistant Prosecutor of the Year for 1999 by the Ohio Prosecuting Attorney’s Association.
