Malta was represented by Dr Geraldine Spiteri Lucas from the MBR and Mr Alfred Zammit from the FIAU. \n“Our ultimate goal is to ‘handbook’ tangible proposals and best practices that can be made available to stakeholders and jurisdictions who are seeking to build or enhance national beneficial ownership capabilities\,” explained EU Global Facility Key Expert on Beneficial Ownership Alexandre Taymans\, noting that “the purpose of these sessions is to delve deeper into the topic\, discuss challenges and lessons that can be learnt and applied for technical assistance to the benefit of the EU GF partner countries. This way we can put forward an approach for more effective national and cross border beneficial ownership disclosure frameworks.” \nFor her part Dr Geraldine Spiteri Lucas\, MBR Chief Executive Officer\, explained Malta’s experience in arriving where it is today\, which is having an accurate and an up-to-date Beneficial Ownership Register. ‘The effectiveness of the BO Register revolved around accuracy and accessibility by competent authorities and subject persons. Most importantly\, it is crucial to have all the entities work together hand in hand. It is indeed of great pleasure for Malta to have welcomed representatives from registries across Europe discussing a subject that is dominating amongst registers fora’ said Dr. Spiteri Lucas. \nAlfred Zammit\, Deputy Director at the Financial Intelligence Unit of Malta\, explained that Beneficial Ownership registries are becoming an increasingly important component in the fight against ML/FT\, but transitioning from a registry to a competent authority is easier said than done. Sharing best practice and exploring different forms of cooperation\, including with FIUs and other authorities\, is therefore very-much needed and a step that we and the community all stand to gain from. \nSupport to partner countries’ Beneficial Ownership frameworks is a key pillar of the EU Global Facility on AML/CFT’s work around the globe. So far\, the project has assisted more than 11 jurisdictions in Africa\, Asia\, Latin America and Europe at a bilateral level. A number of regional conferences was also organised to enhance international cooperation in this regard.[/vc_column_text][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” 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=”4260\,4261\,4262\,4263\,4264\,4265″ 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=”h4″ 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]

In this way\, it will defend itself against the influence of organised crime on its institutions and can protect the interests of the state and the nation.” \nThe regional event aims to allow participants to exchange and further their expertise on FATF standards on availability and accessibility of beneficial ownership information\, the assessment of money laundering and terrorism financing risks associated with the misuse of legal persons and arrangements in the GAFILAT region\, the design and implementation of mitigation measures as well as emerging trends and specific topics related to the ever increasing importance of beneficial ownership transparency throughout jurisdictions across the world. \nIn his welcoming remarks\, EU GF Team Leader David Hotte\, thanked the GAFILAT and Panamanian authorities for their support\, noting: “we are particularly happy to see such a high level of attendance in this first regional conference the EU Global Facility is organising in Latin America. Panama has been a trusted partner country of the project\, where we have delivered 10 activities since our first mission back in October 2021.” \n“Support to partner countries’ Beneficial Ownership frameworks is a key pillar of the EU GF’s work around the globe. So far\, we have assisted more than 11 jurisdictions in Africa\, Asia\, Latin America and Europe on BO at a bilateral level while reaching almost 70 countries through regional conferences.” \nFor his part\, Executive Director of GAFILAT\, Esteban Fullin\, stated: “making Beneficial Ownership information available is key to having a successful AML/CFT system\, GAFILAT is committed to mitigate any possible misuse of corporate vehicles to allow money launderers and criminal organisations to profit their illicit gains. Having the chance to share experiences and discuss good practices on how to tackle this issue is key to implement an effective system.”[/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=”center” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][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=”nectarslider_style” images=”4321\,4355\,4334\,4349\,4337\,4364\,4366″ image_loading=”default” 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=”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]

The second iteration is foreseen in South East Asia in the beginning of 2023.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The EU Global Facility will therefore continue its ongoing work in this domain.” \nOur Key Expert on Beneficial Ownership Alexandre Taymans\, described the work being carried by the project with partner countries and organisations\, which includes bringing together experts from the public and private sector\, as well as civil society representatives. He emphasised that “the composition of the panel and the wide range of expertise put together today\, is a reflection of the multi-stakeholder engagement and enforcement strategies that will inevitably be required for BO disclosure systems to be made effective”. \nHe discussed the follow-up work to be conducted in this domain\, which will involve discussing measures to address and reduce the risk of complexity affecting beneficial ownership transparency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

More than 100 representatives of Latin American and European Union institutions involved in this type of crime participated in the webinar\, which involved 12 specialists from Argentina\, Spain\, Panama and Peru took part in the webinar\, together with representatives from Eurojust\, Europol\, the Council of Europe and the United Nations. \nIn addition\, an introduction on the topic was delivered by lawyer Marta Suárez Mansilla\, Ana Vico\, professor at the University Rey Juan Carlos and Donna Yates\, professor at the University of Maastricht. \nThe three experts introduced the characteristics of the illicit market in cultural godos\, outlining these conclusions: \n\n• The main characteristic of the illicit trade in cultural property is that the profit is made by moving from the illegal field to the legal one. That is why it is important to focus on the process of importing cultural property.\n• The cooperation of traders who are not involved in this illicit market and who are also victims of all the illegal networks is very important. This illegal market must be combated from within the market itself with a unified regulation.\n• Looting is a tricky phenomenon as it involves human commitment and a lot of experience. That is why the activity is often carried out on a smaller scale and with small objects such as gold and silver coins. They can be easily hidden and can be melted down if there is no buyer.\n\n  \nCoordination between institutions to combat a complex crime\nTerrorism is a global problem and organisations are financed by various means\, one of which is the illicit trafficking of cultural property. This is a crime with a particular modus operandi but which can coexist with other crimes such as arms trafficking or human trafficking. \nIllicit trafficking in cultural property is fought through intelligence and information\, with investigations and subsequent prosecution\, but customs is often the first agency to identify the criminal activity. For this reason\, Panama’s customs director insisted on the need for coordination between institutions\, and for the importance of dealing with the issue from a multidisciplinary point of view.\nFrom the police point of view\, experts from the Guardia Civil\, the Spanish National Police and Europol presented successful operations such as Operation Pandora and Operation Harmakhis against the illicit trafficking of cultural property. For their part\, Europol experts highlighted the importance of the online market\, which has grown in recent years. They stressed a the challenge online markets represent for security forces.\nRepresentatives of the Public Prosecutor’s Offices of Argentina and Peru outlined their experience in the fight against this type of crime. Neither country has specific cases of terrorist financing\, but other crimes such as money laundering linked to trafficking in cultural property do exist. \nInternational experience and harmonisation of legislation\nAt the European Union level\, the Eurojust agency intervenes proactively\, always at the request of judicial and prosecutorial authorities\, seeking international coordination between jurisdictions in cases with a transnational dimension.\nThe United Nations focuses on new trafficking routes such as the use of the Cocaine Route that links the Sahel with Latin America to traffic cultural goods. Therefore\, there is a risk in Latin America with critical points such as Panama\, Ecuador and Colombia.\nTogether with the representative of the Council of Europe\, they emphasised the need to harmonise legislation on this type of crime to facilitate the investigation and prosecution of offenders. In addition\, the Council of Europe presented the Nicosia Convention for the Protection of Cultural Heritage\, which has so far been signed by seven countries worldwide.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

H.E concluded with thanking the EU Global Facility\, the French Embassy\, the experts and the countries representatives for their presence in this conference and expressed his best wishes to all. \nSpeaking at the opening ceremony\, Alexis Le Cour Grandmaison\, French Ambassador to Jordan\, underlined the need to put in place an adequate legal framework to identify criminal assets\, including virtual assets\, as early as possible in the investigation in order to maximise the possibilities of effecting a seizure. He also referred to the decisive action of the French Asset Recovery Agency (AGRASC) “whose recoveries have doubled between 2020 and 2021 to reach 480 million euros. It is important that this activity benefits the public community”. \nThe event\, which will witness the intervention of more than 20 experts from the Americas\, Europe and the Arab world\, seeks to tackle the causes and existence of AMLCFT risks\, and promote cooperation and compliance with the global standards and cooperation in the field of Vas. Ultimately\, it seeks to guide respective countries\, their competent authorities\, and the private sector\, on shaping the strategic direction of dealing with VAs\, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)\, and understanding requirements of this direction\, i.e. banning or regulating VAs. \n“This event is a recognition of the crucial importance of exchanging and sharing best practices between countries from the same region\, especially on such an innovative and new topic\,” said EU Global Facility Team Leader David Hotte\, thanking all participants for their active participation and interest in the topic. \n💡 VAs represent an attractive economic opportunity for jurisdictions\, but bring along a number of challenges and risks that must be understood and managed for their safe integration within a country’s economy. Amongst other things\, are financial crime risks (for example the abuse of VAs to evade sanctions\, launder money or finance terrorism)\, as well as the potential impact on the wider ecosystem. For instance\, banks might need to put in place increased/tailored monitoring to bank these operators\, and regulators might need to adapt their regulatory and supervisory approaches to target the specific risks brought about by VA operators\, whilst guaranteeing a rapid regulatory process and a smooth supervision experience (to maintain a competitive edge against other jurisdictions).[/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”
