As part of its ongoing technical assistance to the Republic of Kazakhstan, ITMCFM held a seminar for financial intelligence units of EAG member states. The seminar focused on the identification, investigation, and prosecution of terrorist financing crimes.
Participants — including FIUs officers and representatives from relevant government bodies of EAG member states — received comprehensive guidance on investigative methodologies and legal strategies for prosecuting terrorist financing crimes. The seminar also emphasized the importance of enhancing interagency collaboration among FIUs, law enforcement authorities, and judicial institutions, using the Russian Federation’s practices as a case study.
The seminar event concluded with a roundtable discussion featuring contributions from:
- Representatives of Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, who shared updates on the integration of relevant FATF standards into their national legal frameworks.
- The FIU of Uzbekistan, which presented successful case studies of terrorist financing investigations.
