Webinar: Enhancing Informal International Cooperation - Bridging Intelligence and Evidence in AML/CFT Investigations

All organisational and individual members of the IAP are invited to join us for a webinar organised jointly by the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) and the Technical Assistance and Training Working Group (TATWG) of the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) on enhancing informal international cooperation, with a specific focus on bridging intelligence and evidence in AML/CFT investigations.

This joint IAP–TATWG webinar will examine how informal international cooperation can strengthen AML/CFT investigations by effectively bridging financial intelligence and admissible evidence. Through practical insights from prosecutors and FIU experts, the session will highlight good practices, common challenges, and real‑world approaches to early engagement, information exchange, and cross‑border coordination. The webinar aims to enhance mutual understanding between intelligence and law enforcement communities and support more effective international case outcomes.
