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 Panama in his welcoming remarks.[/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”

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]

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”

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”
