| Summary: | This publication "Financial
Intelligence Units Working With Law Enforcement"
supports the implementation of the international anti-money
laundering/countering financing of terrorism (AML/CFT)
standards promulgated by the Financial Action Task Force
(FATF) and other international organizations, and to propose
good practices in cooperation among financial intelligence
units (FIUs), law enforcement agencies and prosecutors
(LEAs). Another objective is developing practical solutions
to assist jurisdictions in better demonstrating how
financial intelligence is effectively managed among the
competent authorities responsible for combating money
laundering, associated predicate offences, and terrorist
financing. The publication is based on a joint study by
StAR, the Egmont Group, and United Nations Office on Drugs
and Crime - Global Programme against Money Laundering (UNODC
GPML). In many jurisdictions, the level of cooperation
between FIUs and LEAs could be significantly improved.
StAR's new publication examines how the FIUs and LEAs
cooperate with one another and identifies the impediments to
their closer cooperation. Based on findings among a survey
of FIUs and LEAs, and extensive consultations, the
publication sets forth practical solutions to improve
cooperation and the effective management of financial
intelligence. In addition, the publication presents
recommendations for policy makers to improve their policies
related to the cooperation among FIUs and LEAs. |
