Well-deserved recognition for great work done by David Hotte and the team of the EU AML/CFT Global Facility.
EU Commissioner for Financial services, financial stability and Capital Markets Union Mairead McGuinness, commended the work conducted by the EU Global Facility in Mauritius, stating: "The #EU is fully supportive of #Mauritius 🇲🇺 effort on AML/CFT and has provided technical assistance via the EU Global Facility and the support of the EU delegation in Mauritius. More than 20 actions took place, including training workshops on technical topics such as the beneficiary ownership requirements or special investigative measures in AML/CFT investigations." "This #cooperation is crucial as financial crime and dirty money do not stop at borders. It is in our common interest to have strong AML/CFT regimes preserving the integrity of the financial markets. It is important that Mauritius keeps this momentum and continues to ensure a robust #AMLCFT regime going forward as new risks are emerging continuously, including those related to crypto assets currently. All of us need to be vigilant and aware of new #moneylaundering threats." McGuinness was speaking at the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) workshop on Tax Governance, Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism attended by our Team Leader David Hotte last week. 🎤 For the full interview by Villen Anganan https://lnkd.in/ehN3zmgg European Commission Natalie Pauwels
