On 21 April 2026, ITMCFM hosted a specialized seminar for law enforcement authorities on the Russian Federation’s Preparation for the FATF/EAG Mutual Evaluation, Immediate Outcomes 6, 7, 8 and 9.
More than 20 law enforcement officers took part in the event in person and by videoconference, including representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Federal Customs Service. The seminar completed the modular training course for national experts preparing for the new round of mutual evaluations and was aimed at strengthening officers’ practical competencies in applying FATF Standards and EAG approaches when investigating financial crimes.
During the seminar, participants examined investigation and prosecution of ML and TF cases.
Particular attention was paid to a horizontal analysis of Immediate Outcomes 6, 7, 8 and 9 across different jurisdictions. This made it possible to compare Russian practice with the experience of other countries and identify areas for improving effectiveness.
Separate modules focused on the confiscation of criminal assets and the use of operational financial data and other relevant information by competent authorities. Practical cases were used to discuss modern approaches to detecting and tracing criminal flows, preparing materials for court, and interacting with financial intelligence in the context of the new round of mutual evaluations.
