Last week, in Jakarta, I had the opportunity to speak as an expert in a five-day regional workshop on TBML, jointly organised by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and UNODC, with the support of the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office FCDO Services and Indonesia’s Financial Intelligence Unit Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan (PPATK).
The workshop focused on strengthening operational coordination in TBML investigations by enhancing participants’ understanding of financial flows in trade transactions, improving the quality of financial intelligence exchange among agencies, and building practical skills to detect, investigate, and disrupt complex TBML schemes. It brought together 40 experts from FIUs and LEAs across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, including representatives from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.
La scorsa settimana, a Giacarta, ho avuto l’opportunità di intervenire quale esperto in un workshop regionale di cinque giorni su TBML, organizzato dalla Banca di Sviluppo Asiatica Asian Development Bank (ADB) e da UNODC, con il supporto del Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office del Regno Unito FCDO Services e dell’Unita’ di Informazione Finanziaria dell’Indonesia Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan (PPATK).
Il workshop si è concentrato sul rafforzamento del coordinamento operativo nelle indagini sul TBML, migliorando la comprensione dei flussi finanziari nelle transazioni commerciali da parte dei partecipanti, elevando la qualità dello scambio di informazioni finanziarie tra le agenzie e sviluppando competenze pratiche per individuare, investigare e contrastare schemi complessi di TBML. L’evento ha riunito 40 esperti provenienti da FIU e forze dell’ordine di tutto il Sud-est asiatico e del Pacifico, inclusi rappresentanti di Brunei, Cambogia, Indonesia, Laos, Malesia, Papua Nuova Guinea, Filippine, Singapore, Thailandia, Timor Est e Vietnam.
