These one-week workshops, presented by the IMF's Legal Department, aim to enhance and strengthen the capacities of various groups of officials engaged in anti-money-laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT).The workshops aim to build the capacity of the participating countries' criminal justice officials to deal with the substantive legal issues and implementation of AML and CFT legislation. The workshops cover issues related to criminal prosecutions of money laundering and financing of terrorism; seizing and freezing powers and other provisional measures concerning criminal proceeds and assets linked to terrorism, confiscation of criminal proceeds and terrorist finance instruments; international cooperation, including mutual assistance; and techniques used for successful AML/CFT cases. The workshops also cover the role of FIUs and other stakeholders, and focus on techniques to put together cases for successful prosecution.
The focus of each workshop is customized for the type of officials at which it is aimed. Thus, the workshop for FIU officials emphasizes the role, powers, and functions of an FIU and the analysis of financial information, while the workshop for judges concentrates on the adjudication of relevant cases and proceedings.
