Bolivia's Ministry of Economy and Public Finance reported the delivery of information technology equipment and specialized technical assistance to the Financial Investigations Unit (UIF) and the Directorate for Registration, Control and Administration of Seized Assets (DIRCABI). The support forms part of a European Union-funded project with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to help Bolivia implement Financial Action Task Force standards and strengthen its response to money laundering, terrorist financing and organized crime. The UIF received a server and storage area network system to expand its capacity to process, exchange and store information, alongside support from two technology consultants to develop systems used for financial analysis and intelligence. DIRCABI received a server to improve its Integrated Asset Information System and will receive consultancy support to complete and consolidate the platform for managing seized assets. The measures are intended to support Bolivia's removal from the Financial Action Task Force list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring and establish conditions for remaining outside it.
