A number of stakeholders from the AMLU\, the Central Bank of Jordan and the Companies Control Department along with competent authorities have worked together on designing and implementing the assessment of the AML/CFT risks and the misuse of legal persons and legal arrangements\, using a leading-edge methodology. \n  \nIn her opening remarks\, Head of the Anti-Money Laundering Unit of Jordan\, Samya Abu Sharif\, noted: “the topic of today’s workshop is an indication of the important role of all national agencies in promoting the necessary actions to combat the risks of money-laundering and terrorist financing associated with legal persons and legal arrangements at the national level.” \n“Understanding the potential threats\, and strengthening the system to achieve increased transparency for the legal persons and the legal arrangements and developing national programmes in partnership with the private sector to reduce their impact is a crucial objective of thjs assessment work.”  \n“The results of the assessment presented today will help us better understand and be directed towards high-risk aspects in order to prevent criminals from exploiting legal persons and legal arrangements in ML/TF crimes\,” she added. \nFor his part\, EU Global Facility Key Expert on Beneficial Ownership Alexandre Taymans commended the “successful work and important efforts put together by Jordan to conduct this exercise in such a structured and timely manner”. \n“As the dissemination of the findings of this assessment are now launched\, such a milestone calls for and paves the way for an enhanced engagement between competent authorities\, as well as with the private sector to ensure that the recommendations and the mitigating measures identified by the working group will be fully implemented before the next update to the risk assessment\,” he stated. \nThe EU Global Facility has developed a dedicated methodology for the risk assessment of legal persons and arrangements to assist partner jurisdictions with a methodology that can be tailored to their specific context. \nThis activity is a milestone for any country implementing a BO disclosure framework as it will help them identify the risk jurisdictions are facing from the misuse of legal vehicles both at national and international level. This risk assessment is also to be put in the context of the renewed and increasing focus the FATF’s new recommendation 24 (April 2022) has put on this challenging exercise for jurisdictions considering the scope of such exercise\, the number and variety of stakeholders involved and the level of technical expertise it requires.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This will serve to discuss the specific features and mechanisms through which beneficial ownership information can be registered\, vetted and enforced. \nAdriana del Pilar Solano Cantor\, Deputy Director of the Tax Registry Administration in Colombia\, stated that “This workshop will enable Colombia to identify good practices for the deployment of such beneficial ownership registries\, the existing opportunities for improvement of the regulatory framework and IT system in Colombia and the development of new features in the registry such as the registration of the chain of ownership and control. Similarly\, this exchange of experience will also serve to identify areas of improvement in the technical framework”. \nFor his part Alexandre Taymans\, Key Expert of the EU Global Facility on Beneficial Ownership\, celebrated the launch of this first beneficial ownership training in Colombia. He noted the fact that Colombia already had an operational beneficial ownership registration system and good understanding of the issues that it will face\, both in terms of ensuring the availability\, quality and accessibility of the information\, which will ensure very fruitful discussions and exchanges. He also indicated that beyond the training and exchange of experiences\, this activity was also aimed at identifying areas of future cooperation in areas where the expertise of the Global Facility could be deployed to support Colombian authorities. \nOn Thursday\, other competent authorities from Colombia will attend a session focusing on international standards and best practices on the topic of Beneficial Ownership as well as the tools that can be developed to enhance the understanding of BO disclosure requirements. \nThe sessions will also cover the verification and supervision mechanisms that can be implemented by jurisdictions to ensure that frameworks are effectively implemented by both private and public sector stakeholders.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Topics included in the agenda cover legal and regulatory considerations\, supervision and onsite inspection\, data analytics and the role of IT systems\, as well as interagency cooperation\, among others.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

They will enable the Congolese authorities to better understand the scope of CFS obligations and their place in the strategy to combat the financing of terrorism and the financing of nuclear proliferation. The analysis of the law and the training sessions will be used to fuel subsequent exchanges on the operationalisation of the adopted texts. \nThree main areas of work are proposed:\n1. Operationalisation of the institutional framework dedicated to the CFS: support for the definition of operational processes for the implementation of Recommendations 6 and 7 (identification of targets\, communication of lists\, withdrawal of lists\, unfreezing of funds\, etc.)\n2. Establishment of processes for monitoring and inventorying frozen assets\, to enable the DRC to respond to the FATF’s request for statistics on frozen assets (develop the process for communicating frozen assets to the competent authorities and their centralisation)\n3. Ensure effective implementation of targeted financial sanctions by raising awareness of the scope of the obligations among the authorities responsible for monitoring the implementation of the CFS and the private sector”. \nOn Tuesday 25 April\, the EU Global Facility team will provide a mentoring on national coordination\, aimed at preparing the Technical Assistance Coordination Committee (TACC) meeting foreseen at the EU Delegation on Wednesday 26 April. \nThe TACC was launched last December in Kinshasa\, in order to best coordinate the work of all technical assistance providers to the Congolese partners in their efforts to strengthen their AML/CFT frameworks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Global Facility on AML/CFT on Thursday wrapped up a three-day regional training workshop on “Implementing a register of beneficial owners” in Tunis. \n“It is part of the mission of RNE as an actor in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and guarantor of the transparency of economic transactions necessary for economic growth\,” said the Director General of the register\, Adel Chouari\, at the opening of the training on Tuesday. \nHe stressed the importance of the implementation of a register of beneficial owners\, which is the first guarantor of transparency and integrity of the financial sector\, especially since Tunisia is preparing to come under the scrutiny of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2024\, for a periodic evaluation. \nFor his part\, the Head of Section and First Secretary of the Delegation of the European Union in Tunisia\, Massimiliano Messi\, noted that the EU will always support the NER and Tunisia so that investment remains viable and interesting and a source of job and wealth creation. \n“It is very important for the EU to train in the field of Beneficial Ownership\, noting that the recommendations of the intergovernmental body that oversees global trends in money laundering and terrorist financing “FATF” are very important but those on BO still remain the most complicated” he said. \nMessi estimated that the presence of representatives of the commercial registers of Algeria and Libya will allow to create a dynamic to be able to detect the BO which are hidden in a register in one country or in another. \nThe training was led by international experts from the EU Global Facility coming from Belgium and Luxembourg.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle”

It also aims to raise awareness of this phenomenon among all stakeholders in order to reduce and counter money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) in these lucrative markets and protect a country’s heritage. \nThe three-day regional event opened at Mexico’s National Museum of Anthropology with 120 high-level participants from Latin America and the Caribbean\, the European Union and international organisations such as UNESCO\, Interpol and the World Customs Organization\, among others. \nDuring her participation\, the Minister of Culture\, Alejandra Frausto Guerrero\, stressed the importance of inter-institutional collaboration to stop the trafficking of heritage assets\, and offered her support to advance this objective. “We are talking not only about a legal issue\, but also about a human rights issue. Culture is based on cultural rights\, on the rights to identity\, on the rights of those peoples and communities that have historically been plundered by decades of plundering\, of marginalisation\, and are those places where the greatest cultural wealth is preserved”. \nThe head of the country’s cultural policy commented on the actions that have been put in place\, for example\, the Inter-institutional Commission of the Mexican Government to work on the issue and seek the repatriation of pieces that are outside the country\, as well as the campaign #MiPatrimonioNoSeVende\, to stop auctions that occur outside the national territory\, which has allowed the return to Mexico of more than 11\,500 pieces. \nThe Head of the Financial Intelligence Unit\, Pablo Gómez Álvarez\, referred to the strategic role of the Financial Intelligence Unit in the identification and tracking of illicit trafficking of cultural property in Mexico related to money laundering. He also pointed out the importance of strengthening inter-institutional coordination and international cooperation in order to prevent and combat this phenomenon more effectively. \nGómez Álvarez highlighted the efforts made by the FIU and the Mexican authorities that make up the national AML/CFT system to identify\, prevent and mitigate those emerging risks identified in the commission of these crimes\, and emphasised the relevance and usefulness of efficient and timely information exchange channels. \nThis event\, the second in a series of four regional conferences to be organised in 2024\, will consist of a series of presentations by international experts on AML/CFT and illicit art trafficking\, as well as case studies examining the routes and methods used by criminal networks involved in the looting or theft of antiquities and works of art.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][/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” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ 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” gradient_type=”default”][vc_gallery type=”nectarslider_style” images=”5595\,5621\,5623\,5600\,5624\,5598\,5625\,5626\,5627\,5628\,5629\,5630\,5631\,5622\,5605\,5602\,5601\,5599\,5596\,5579″ image_loading=”lazy-load” hide_arrow_navigation=”true” bullet_navigation_style=”see_through” 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=”h3″ 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=”Click to see more photos”][/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=”1/1″ 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=”20px”][vc_column_text]\nGAFILAT Executive Secretary Esteban Fullin highlighted the fact that “the market for art\, antiquities and other cultural objects has attracted organised criminal groups and terrorists to launder the proceeds of their crime and finance their activities. There are risks associated with these markets and many countries do not have sufficient understanding of these risks.”  \n“Criminals seek to exploit the sector’s history of privacy\, which\, coupled with a lack of awareness\, results in a lack of resources\, expertise and experience to investigate and prosecute these crimes both domestically and internationally\,” he pointed out. He acknowledged that the issue of art trafficking and money laundering has been little explored\, when it is a threat\, a precedent crime that generates illicit profits\, hence the importance of the regional conference. “That’s also why I think we can learn a little bit from what the Mexican Ministry of Culture and the Mexican FIU can bring to us\,” she said.\n \nIn his welcome address\, David Hotte\, Team Leader of the EU Global Facility\, highlighted the innovative nature of the conference series\, which “addresses the intrinsically complex issue of the looting and art trafficking conflict from a very comprehensive perspective”. “Managing to bring together investigators\, prosecutors\, Financial Intelligence Unit officials and members of the public and private sectors around the same table is a great success and the first step towards a stronger and more effective response to prevent the penetration of ML/TF in these lucrative markets\, ultimately protecting countries’ assets”. \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”

Ultimately\, the Senior Advisory Group shall provide substantive inputs on how to increase the efficiency of the EU Global Facility in assisting states (i) to comply with the international standards on AML/CFT and; (ii) to support the national Financial Intelligence Units\, judiciary and law enforcement agencies to implement the international instruments’ provisions as well as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations. \nOn the second day\, participants discussed the EU response on AML/CFT\, through a review of the European Commission’s Architecture on AML/CFT Technical Assistance and the perspectives ahead. \nModerated by de Kerchove Gilles \, the discussions also covered the new EU AML Package (https://lnkd.in/eYZavjGZ)\, shedding a specific light on the creation of the AMLA and on the evolution of the listing process for high-risk third countries. \n“The AMLA was thought through in very close collaboration with national Financial Intelligence Units\, as it is not destined to replace these national layers. It will rather serve as the centre of an integrated system composed of the AMLA and the national authorities with an AML/CFT supervisory mandate\,” said a representative of the European Commission\, stressing that it would also help in bolstering cooperation among national FIUs.[/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=”1/1″ 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”][/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” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ 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” gradient_type=”default”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”5804\,5805\,5806\,5807\,5808\,5809\,5810\,5811\,5812\,5813\,5817\,5818\,5819\,5820\,5821\,5822\,5823\,5824\,5825″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

These sessions aim to empower the Botswanan authorities with the knowledge and tools necessary to conduct a National Risk Assessment (NRA) aligned with Rec 15. \nThe first three sessions\, conducted between April and May\, have now set a solid foundation for the NRA process. They covered key aspects such as the structure of the NRA for Virtual Assets (VA) and VASPs\, the use of analytical tools for risk-based supervision\, and the conduct of a questionnaire-based assessment.\n👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 These sessions enabled us to better understand and analyse the responses received\, ensuring a robust and comprehensive NRA. \nIn the recently concluded fourth session\, our experts delved into the crucial understanding of VA features and VASP operations. Focus was on comprehending the unique characteristics of VAs\, their potential attractiveness for money laundering and terrorist financing\, as well as gaining insights into VASP operations. \n👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽This knowledge will help Botswana develop effective strategies to mitigate risks associated with these emerging technologies. \n💡 The collaboration between the EU GF and Botswana exemplifies the power of international cooperation in combating financial crimes and ensuring the integrity of the global financial system. By enhancing the regulation and supervision of VASPs\, we are taking significant steps toward safeguarding the transparency and security of virtual asset transactions. \nSpecial thanks to Delphine Aupicon from the EU Delegation who shared the opening words of this session![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
