The Financial Action Task Force of Latin America (GAFILAT) ran a training course on financial investigations in Sucre, Bolivia, from 2 to 4 September, aimed at strengthening the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The programme was organised with support from Spanish experts and coordinated with Bolivia’s Financial Investigations Unit. The course covered the international anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) framework and risk assessment, money laundering in an international context and the use of special investigative techniques, and comparative experiences from judicial and police systems. Participants also completed practical exercises focused on money flows and corporate structures, and GAFILAT framed the initiative as part of its annual, needs-based training activities for national and regional authorities.
