32 police officers and prosecutors took part in the seminar organised by the FIIAPP from 1 to 5 July in Rome, Italy.
The FIIAPP has organised the 2nd inter-institutional seminar for police officers and prosecutors on the fight against money laundering and organised crime at the headquarters of the Guardia di Finanza in Rome.
The seminar is part of the project “AMERIPOL: Strengthening the capacities of law enforcement, judicial and tax authorities in international cooperation”.
The main objective of the course was to show the different methods for pursuing the laundering of profits obtained by organised crime. The speakers stressed the need to trace the illicit origin of the assets of criminal networks in order to detect, prosecute and dismantle these gangs as well as to confiscate their criminal wealth.
The seminar was given by experienced members of the Guardia di Finanza, an institution that participates in the AMERIPOL-EU project and which in Italy has the competence to combat financial crime, money laundering and tax evasion.
Beatriz Carnicer, Secretary General of FIIAPP, participated in the closing of the seminar and in her speech highlighted the importance of devoting efforts to prevent and pursue money laundering, involving authorities and private actors to stop and fight organized crime.
