More specifically it will review how legal professions and accountants\, and their self-regulated bodies\, adequately apply AML/CFT preventive measures commensurate with their risks\, and report suspicious transactions. \nIn the second day\, a technical training for ML/TF self-regulated bodies will be delivered. It will tackle ways in which self-regulated bodies of legal professions and accountants supervise\, monitor and regulate legal professions and accountants with AML/CFT requirements commensurate with their risks. \nThe objectives of the outreach programme are to ensure that: \n\no Operators in the regulated accountant and legal professional sectors become familiar with obligations such as KYC\, customer due diligence\, STRs reporting and the risk-based approach;\no Their self-regulated bodies become familiar with basics AML/CFT requirements\, and their supervisory and monitoring tasks: supervision\, monitoring of legal professions and accountants for compliance with AML/CFT requirements commensurate with their risks;\no The outreach programme is also designed as a pedagogical tool to enable the regulators to educate and support DNFBPs in understanding and implementing their obligations.\n\n[/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” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”4133\,4101\,4112\,4119\,4097\,4126\,4128\,4127\,4130\,4131″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”120px”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”See more photos” url=”https://www.global-amlcft.eu/images-videos/”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Since Panama considered tax offenses as a predicate offense of ML in 2019\, various investigations have been initiated\, generated either by the use of UAF products\, international cooperation\, the Task Force or by the Public Ministry based on the Action Protocol. This reflects the good inter-institutional coordination and effectiveness of our system.” \nThe training is part of a series of activities organised by the EU Global Facility to support Panama in strengthening its AML/CFT frameworks and upholding its compliance standards in this regard. More specifically\, the technical assistance focuses on Panama’s fulfilment of the immediate results 5 and 7 of the Financial Action Task Force as adapted to the needs and priorities established by Panama. \n “Organised crime and terrorism threaten our peaceful coexistence and it is on the basis of national and international collaboration that we must combat illicit movements of capital under a clear and joint vision\, based on the experience of the international organisations that promote a state of welfare and justice\,” said Adolfo Campos\, Charge d’Affaires a.i. of the EU Delegation to

Almengor highlighted that the presentation of the Guide is generated as part of the implementation of Law No. 129 of March 17\, 2020\, which creates the Single Private System for the Registry of Final Beneficiaries of Legal Entities and its regulatory Decrees. \nVice-Minister Gordón emphasized that “(The) initiatives such as this Guide\, are part of the fundamental building blocks of the regulatory and operational reforms which allow us to guarantee the integrity and transparency of all legal persons and arrangements throughout the country\, in accordance with the international standards which we have committed to ». \nFor its part\, the SSNF underlined the importance of the work undertaken by Panama and SSNF over the last few years to achieve delisting from the FATF list. “It has involved the establishment of a legal framework in line with international standards\, but also the development of tools to assist the private sector and resident agents in their work of identifying\, verifying and registering beneficial owners\,” explained Dayra Carrizo\, Superintendent of SSNF.  \nShe added: “The effectiveness of the mechanisms put in place in Panama depends on the commitment of all stakeholders\, and noted the importance resident agents are playing in the institutional set-up of Panama for which they are a key component. These workshops aimed to strengthen the basis for coordination between these stakeholders which commitment is paramount for Panama to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the measures taken to ensure the availability and accessibility of BO information in Panama.” \nOver the course of four days\, more than 500 participants attended the training onsite and online. \n“This demonstrate the huge interest and commitment in the subject matter\, and is the materialisation of the efforts undertaken by Panama with regards to its compliance with the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) requirements related to transparency of legal persons and arrangements\, amongst the most challenging FATF Recommendation\, and one for which the effectiveness of the measures taken is likewise most difficult to establish and demonstrate\,” stated Alexandre Taymans\, Key Expert on Beneficial Ownership for the EU Global Facility. \nExperts from the SSNF and the Global Facility delivered sessions covering a wide range of topics including the FATF and EU standards\, the newly published SSNF’s Beneficial Ownership Guidance\, the practical functioning of the Panamanian BOR\, the role and strategy of the SSNF to guarantee compliance with the Beneficial Ownership identification and registration requirements. The sessions also included various case studies and examples that fostered discussion between participants on how\, in practice\, beneficial owners should be identified and their information verified.

She emphasised the need for enhanced cooperation and shared BO Information related to financial and economic crimes\, encouraging countries to “build systems and learn about what other countries are doing  to change legislation\, how they maintain accurate and update BO information and how this information should be shared with stakeholders  in the value chain of AML/CFT regime.” \nFor his part\, EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte\, welcomed the participation of representatives from 18 countries\, saying “it is particularly impressive to witness the attendance of so many countries\, which shows African nations’ committment to the enhancement of beneficial ownership frameworks within their respective jurisdictions. I am confident that these three days of exchanges will yield great results with regards to transparency of legal persons and legal arrangements.” \nThe workshop\, which will consist of interactive exchanges and thematic presentations\, will allow participants to exchange best practices and further deepen their expertise on BO-related matters. \n“Due to the current challenges faced by countries in understanding the issues of BO\, the ESAAMLG is having 18 of its member countries participate in this important event aimed at building more awareness on how countries can comply with the Financial Action Task Force’s standards on BO and how to implement relevant measures. Our Secretariat is confident that the workshop will go a long way in assisting members to come up with effective systems to handle BO\,” stated Expert Joseph Jagada from the ESAAMLG secretariat. \nThe conference is part of a series of technical assistance activities delivered by the EU GF-AML/CFT to third countries around the world. Demand driven and tailored made\, the support is provided on a bilateral\, regional and thematic basis. As of September 2022\, the project has delivered bilateral assistance to 16 countries globally. \n  \n—- \nThe regional workshop “Enhancing Effectiveness of Beneficial Ownership Frameworks: Evolving Technical Standard and their Effective Implementation” will take place in a hybrid format (onsite and online) on 13-15 September 2022 in Lusaka\, Zambia. \nThe regional event is co-organised by the EU Global Facility on AML/CFT\, the ESAAMLG Secretariat and the Financial Intelligence Centre of the Republic of Zambia (FIC). \nThe workshop has been designed to allow participants to exchange and further their expertise in the following areas : \n\nThe FATF and EU standards related to beneficial ownership and the transparency of legal persons (LP) and legal arrangements (LA)\,\nThe importance of country-wide assessments of the ML/TF risks associated with LP/LA as well\, the methodology developed by the Global Facility and case studies presented by Ghana\, Mauritius and the United Kingdom\,\nThe role (public) beneficial ownership registers is expected to play in future AML/CFT frameworks\, the Global Facility’s methodology for their implementation as well as country case studies\,\nThe role of FI/DNFBP in ensuring the availability and accessibility of beneficial ownership information within a jurisdiction\,\nThe practical tools and solutions available to supervisors to design and implement risk-based supervision strategies on beneficial ownership identification/verification obligations\,\nThe practical considerations and concrete actions a jurisdiction can take when implementing a ML/TF risk assessment of LP/LA\, engaging in a ESAAMLG Mutual Evaluation and/or implementing an FATF/ICRG Action Plan.\n\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”

Started in April 2021\, activities have focused on parallel investigations\, the use of informants\, turning intelligence into evidence\, financial supervision\, the judiciary and FIU core functions. \n  \nLearn more about our work with the UAE HERE[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Notably\, support was requested for the accountancy professions (chartered accountants and certified accountants)\, the legal professions (lawyers\, notaries\, adouls)\, dealers in precious stones and metals and traders in antiques or works of art\, casinos and gambling establishments\, as well as real estate agents. \nThe EU Global Facility began delivering online technical assistance activities to Morocco in November 2020\, focusing on the topics on beneficial ownership and cryptocurrencies. The July 2022 onsite mission is expected to be followed by a number of technical training\, workshops and conferences\, where the issues of AML/CFT in the non-financial sector will be addressed. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A prosecutor from Andorra specialised in AML/CFT (and former FIU official) will explain the experience of Andorra: the evolution and situation of jurisdictions that have had a recent definition of tax crime in their jurisdictions and the changes and challenges that this has implied and still implies\, in the internal and international sphere. \nOn the other hand\, the activity will refer to the strategies that can be carried out in relatively small jurisdictions or of moderate dimensions in relation to the prosecution of money laundering from tax crime\, particularly in the case of regional or international financial centres. \n\nPress Release\nEU Global Facility\, National Commission Against Money Laundering of Panama hold training on tax offense investigation\nPanama City/Brussels\, 19 July 2022 – A virtual training on “Investigation of Money Laundering with a tax offense committed abroad as a predicate offense” was launched today\, through a collaboration between the EU Global Facility on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (EU GF-AML/CFT) and the National Commission against Money Laundering\, Financing of Terrorism and Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (CNBC) of Panama. \nTargeted at representatives of the judiciary\, Public Prosecution\, the Directorate of Judicial Investigation\, the Financial Analysis Unit -UAF\, the General Directorate of Revenues. Ministry of Economy and Finance and\, as a national coordinator\, the CNBC\, the training is witnessing the participation of some 50 officials over the course of three days. \n“In the last years\, Panama took a number of important steps to conform its tax system to the highest international standards. The EU welcomes Panama’s reforms and progress on enhancing its legal and transparency standards by providing technical assistance through the EU GF-AML/CFT\,” said Adolfo Campos\, Political Adviser at the EU Delegation in Panama in his welcoming remarks. \nFor her part\, Isabel Yadira Vecchio\, Technical Secretary of the CNBC of Panama and National Coordinator for GAFILAT\, stated: “Panama has developed constant strategies to promote\, protect and defend our economy from the challenges it faces\, as part of the changing world in which we live. In this sense\, we have redoubled efforts with a view to promote not only regulatory changes at the forefront of the global movement\, but also to achieve positive and tangible results that guarantee we can strengthen our AML system.” \nThe online training is part of a series of activities organised by the EU GF-AML/CFT to support Panama in rectifying deficiencies in its AML/CFT frameworks and upholding its compliance standards in this regard. More specifically\, the technical assistance focuses on Panama’s fulfilment of the immediate results 5 and 7 of the Financial Action Task Force as adapted to the needs and priorities established by Panama. \nThe virtual course is intended to be followed by an onsite activity later on\, where the issues of ML and tax crime committed abroad as well as the importance of international cooperation in combating those crimes will be addressed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In particular\, we are exploring the possibility of Beneficial Ownership Registers evolving into Competent Authorities. \nIn this context\, the Global Facility organised a working group of experts who deal with these issues first-hand. The purpose of the event was to delve deeper into the topic\, discuss challenges and lessons learnt and put forward an approach for more effective national and cross border beneficial ownership disclosure frameworks.\nThe session involved only a small number of participants from Beneficial Ownership Registers and FIUs\, creating an opportunity to meet\, network and exchange ideas with colleagues on a very topical matter. \n  \nIn their words:\nAlfred Zammit\, Deputy Director at the Financial Intelligence Unit of Malta\, reflects on the activity: \n“It was a pleasure for me to be able to contribute to the interesting discussions that we had in Brussels\, and to share Malta’s experiences and best practices on the topic of beneficial ownership\,” he stated after the workshop. \n“It was also interesting and useful to hear about the experiences\, practices and challenges faced by our international colleagues from FIUs and BO registries\, possible solutions\, and above all\, the different approaches implemented on the ground. There’s always so much to learn from each other. Bringing together several representatives from EU member states to have thought-provoking discussions on this topic in a frank and informal setting was a commendable initiative\, and a great way to launch this project.” \n“I hope we can continue to assist you with this project\, and we look forward to its outcome. I have no doubt that the international AML/CFT community will find the guidance and assistance that will come out of this project incredibly useful to strengthen their framework when it comes to BO.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In the past years\, Egypt has taken numerous measures to identify\, investigate and tackle this type of trafficking\,” said Judge Ahmed Said Khalil\, Chairman of the Board of Trustees – AML/CFT Unit of Egypt. \nHe added: “Over the past 7 years\, 29\,000 antiquities have been recovered by the Arab Republic of Egypt\, in collaboration with relevant entities and institutions in partner countries including France\, Germany\, Jordan\, the US\, Mexico (among many others).”  \nThe first in a series of four regional conferences to be organised through 2024\, the event will consist of a series of presentations by international experts on money laundering\, terrorist financing and illicit art trafficking\, as well as a hands-on case study examining the routes and and methodologies used by criminal networks involved in the looting or theft of antiquities and art. \n“Today’s conference is an important building block in fighting criminality in art and antiquities.  The EU Global Facility is a crucial project in the fight against ML/TF in all its forms\, including the trafficking of art and antiquities. With the presence of delegates from 14 countries\, the EU and the UN will certainly bring a wealth of experience in art and antiquities investigations. More importantly it will allow identifying potential solutions and recommendations to be brought to the next conference\,” said Christian Berger\, EU Ambassador to Egypt. \nUltimately\, the conference will aim to build the capability of both public and private sectors to share information\, identify problems and solutions to this type of crime. It also seeks to raise awareness of the issues\, and increase the capability of all actors involved to reduce and counter the ML/FT penetration of these lucrative markets and protect a country’s heritage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

This new guidance will assist these reporting entities to identify the beneficial owners of legal persons and legal arrangements in compliance with the requirements of the customer due diligence measures they are required to conduct. \nThese sessions\, held in Amman\, were delivered by international experts from the EU Global Facility and covered topics such as how criminals misuse corporate entities to commit financial crime\, the FATF and EU beneficial ownership disclosure standards\, and approaches and operational considerations relating to identifying of red flags of corporate entities misuse as part of regulatory authorisations and ongoing supervision. Practical case studies were also discussed with the participants. \nThe Central Bank of Jordan team also presented the new guidance on BO transparency and encouraged the audience to provide feedback on the content so has to complement it prior to its publication. \nDeputy Chief of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Unit of Jordan\, Ala’ Bani Fawaz\, stressed the importance of identifying the BO from corporate entities in order to prevent their misuse in committing financial crimes\, money laundering and terrorist financing. \nHe also presented key points of the guidance that will be officially issued soon\, which contains useful practical examples and guidance for the entities on how to identify the ultimate beneficial ownership within legal structures. \nM. Alexandre Taymans\, Key Expert on Beneficial Ownership for the Global Facility praised the dedication of the Jordanian authorities and the efforts made since the start of the joint work with the Global Facility in January 2021 in implementing measures to enhance the transparency of legal persons within the jurisdiction\, pointing to the need to focus as from now on their effective implementation.[/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” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”2584\,2583\,2580\,2579\,2578\,2577″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”150″][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”default” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”See more photos” url=”https://www.global-amlcft.eu/images-videos/”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Analysis is organised by the EU Global Facility and the French Embassy to Jordan. in collaboration with the Anti-Money Laundering Unit of Jordan (AMLU) \nThe workshop\, which is supported by the EU in Jordan\, will bring together\, during three days\, on the one hand\, representatives of these oversight bodies (court of auditors\, inspection services\, anticorruption authorities) and\, on the other hand\, representatives of the justice sector (prosecutions\, criminal courts) as well as a representative of the Financial Intelligence Unit. \nThe countries invited to this regional seminar are Jordan\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine. \nThe workshop will aim at: \n1) Bringing together players who are often isolated or without much ressources in the face of the complexity of financial crime\, who have not yet acquired this culture of forensic audit and who do not have the necessary inter-institutional synergy.\n2) Strengthening and optimising the means and strategies for combating financial crime and corruption in all its forms affecting public funds and management.\n3) Identifying\, at the end of the exchanges and discussions held in the workshop\, a set of recommendations to strengthen the cooperation both at the inter-institutional level and at the regional level and thus to optimise the practices and strategies implemented by the forensic audit. \nThe logic underlying this workshop is the following: \n1) Analysis of the current situation\, actions and challenges (general and regional of the different actors)\n2) A first solution: forensic audit as an investigation technique for the benefit of the control bodies and authorities\n3) A second solution: forensic audit as a cooperation strategy for the benefit of criminal courts\n4) Regarding the challenges and future threats: recommendations resulting from the discussions of the workshop with an inter-institutional and regional dimension[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container”

I am confident that the discussions at this conference will provide guidance in this direction.” \nThe high level conference will witness the participation of representatives from some of the most important actors in the banking field\, including the International Monetary Fund\, the Wolfsberg Group\, SWIFT\, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)\, the Egmont Group\, Facebook Payments\, as well as Mauritian financial institutions. \n“The BoM works very closely with all its regulatees to ensure a continuous monitoring of developments on the front of correspondent banking and cross border payments. This workshop is therefore of paramount importance to come out better equipped in view of fostering stronger correspondent banking relationships\,” said Harvesh Seegoolam\, Governor of the BoM. \nFor his part\, David Hotte\, Team Leader of the EU Global Facility\, explained: “The economic impact of de-risking can be devastating for countries around the world. They include difficulties in accessing international payment systems and foreign markets for trade\, closure of operations by institutions\, reduced scale of operations\, and diminished financial performance and job losses.” \nNoting that the number of correspondent banking terminations and restrictions had increased in the ESAAMLG region in recent years\, he added: “with this unique and very high level conference\, we intend to provide answers and solutions to the conclusions of the ESAAMLG survey on correspondent banking relationships.” \nLast year\, Mauritius was removed from both the FATF List of Countries subject to Increased Monitoring ahead of the FATF set timelines and the European Commission List of High-Risk Third Countries. This followed continuous efforts to strengthen the effectiveness of the country’s AML/CFT regime. \n——- \nThe event took place in a hybrid format (onsite and online) in Mauritius\, from 11th to 12th\, May 2022. \nThe objectives of this conference are to assist participants on:\n(a) The de-risking phenomenon in ESAAMLG region\, causes\, consequences\, and main drivers of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) termination\n(b) The measurement of de-risking impact and of listing\n(c) Describe the FATF (Recommendation 13) and EU best practices\, cross-border correspondent relationships\, as opposed to domestic relationships\, that should prompt additional customer due diligence measures\n(d) Clarify the role of SWIFT as global provider of secure financial messaging services\, and give an overview of the correspondent banking system\, SWIFT’s role and initiatives in financial crime compliance\, and particularly in the ESAAMLG region\n(e) The challenges faced by correspondent banks\n(f) The practical roles\, tools and solutions\, available for supervisors to design and implement risk-based supervision strategies\n(g) The practical expectations\, from the Financial Intelligence Units in receiving\, analysing\, and disseminating suspicious transaction reports on correspondent banking\, and from Law Enforcement agencies in conducting investigations on financial crime abusing correspondent banking relationships (typologies) and the relevant consequences\n(h) Facilitating the exchange of experiences between similar competent authorities[/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” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”2437\,2436\,2434\,2433\,2431″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”250px”][nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ text_color=”#009fe3″ button_color=”default” button_border_thickness=”0px” link_type=”regular” alignment=”center” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” link_text=”See more photos” url=”https://www.global-amlcft.eu/images-videos/”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”60px”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/HqkSRZuZlTk”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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”

It is with pleasure that we see the level of dedication to judicial cooperation\, a topic at the heart of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing\,” said EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte in his welcoming remarks. \n“It is particularly impressive to witness participants from so many countries committed to the deepening of collaborative measures to ensure the due recovery of proceeds from organised crime and terrorist activities\,” he added\, thanking the Kingdom of Bahrain and all representatives for their attendance.   \nFor his part\, Jean-François Thony\, President of the Siracusa Institute\, highlighted the importance of the event\, stating: ‘‘this conference is one-of its kind. Indeed\, seeing judges and prosecutors from so many countries gathered in one room to cooperate on AML/CFT is unique\, especially in this region. Too often we forget the importance of judges and prosecutors in the AML/CFT process but not today.” \n“International collaboration of this level is of particular importance for the Siracusa Institute\, which is at the forefront of the fight against organised crime in the Mediterranean and has made of the improvement of criminal justice systems one of its core missions.” \nThe conference 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. \nIn a video message\, Regional Counsellor on counterterrorism and security at the EU Delegation to Bahrain\, Philippe Cormier\, stated “this conference is an illustration of the fast and strong development of our common ambition to develop and deepen judicial cooperation in the MENA region and work to facilitate judicial cooperation with the EU\, in a result oriented way.” \n“Today\, with this EU-MENA conference on judicial cooperation\, our common interest is to extend the level of trust developed between EU Member States to the judicial relation we have between EU and MENA Member States\,” he added. \n  \nTopics tackled during the conference included: \n\nWhat works and does not work for judicial cooperation on AML/CFT matters: A high-level situation analysis for the MENA region\nCountering the financing of terrorism: a specific challenge for the MENA region\nNational strategies to ensure effective investigations and prosecutions relating to anti-money laundering (AML)\, counter-terrorist financing (CTF) and counter-proliferation\nBest practices for money laundering and financial investigations and prosecutions\, and criminal asset recovery\nConstitutional arguments as obstacles to judicial cooperation: Contrasting myth and reality\nImproving the capacity of investigators and judicial systems to turn intelligence into evidence\nInternational experiences and best practices with governmental and social reuse of confiscated criminal assets\nImproving judicial cooperation in the MENA region: listing effective tools\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

It will provide regulators of NPOs\, FIUs and NPO Associations with a platform to discuss and share insights on best practices and challenges which they face and methodologies that can be used to ensure compliance with the FATF requirements on NPOs. Such exchanges will contribute towards prioritisising the improvement of national legislation and policies that will promote accountability\, integrity and public confidence in the administration and management of NPOs. The Workshop will also assist member countries to implement respective FATF ICRG Action Plans or any other follow-up processes in relation to Recommendation 8.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
