These activities seek to lead to the production of a far-reaching study on existing good practice that alleviate the burden of proof in ML investigations and asset recovery procedures. The results of the study shall provide a valuable resource for the work of relevant global and regional institutions (e.g. FATF\, FSRBs\, EU and UN relevant structures etc.)\, as well as national authorities and justice sectors. \nGeneral Prosecutor of Romania Gabriela Scutea opened the session on Monday\, stating “We need  to help develop new innovative instruments to combat ML and terrorist financing (TF) worldwide. I am trusting that the result of this collaborative work will be helpful and inspire legal practitioners not only here in Romania but also in many countries of the world.” \nFor his part\, EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte noted in his opening remarks: “Today\, we need to find a solution to combat ML/TF in an ever more efficient way that is useful for all but also constitutional and in respect of human rights.” \nDuring this specific session\, experts worked to identify\, in their domestic law\, one or several legal mechanisms (legislative provision\, rule established by consolidated case law\, administrative mechanism\, etc.) which facilitate satisfying the reversed burden of proof in ML and cases of illicit enrichment offence. \nPresident of the Siracusa Institute\, Jean-François Thony\, stressed the importance of the matter\, saying “the experts meeting today have one question to answer: how can we improve the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and how can we ensure that criminals engaging in that kind of activities can be sentenced and deprived of their ill-gotten assets\, within the respect of constitutional rights?”  \n“All practitioners know that the difficulty of providing evidence of the offence of money laundering is more acute than for any other crime\, because the essence of this offence is precisely to hide evidence\, to make the trail of illicit profits untraceable\, and to protect criminal assets from confiscation\,” he added. \nThe Experts Working Group is part of a series of activities organised by the EU GF-AML/CFT and the Siracusa Institute aimed at strengthening international judicial co-operation and the efficient application of existing MLA standards and international instruments by judges and prosecutors.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default”
