The three-day training session will let the FIU and competent authorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan learn about the experience of the Russian Federation in improving the effectiveness of detection of ML schemes, including those supported by "professional money launderers", of identifying cryptocurrency transactions with the Transparent Blockchain service, as well as ways to counter cyber fraud.
Oleg Ivanov, First Deputy Director General of ITMCFM, unveiled the training session and spoke to the participants. He noted the vast experience of the Russian and international experts to teach the course.
"Training events like that give you new knowledge. Also it is not necessarily going to be immediately applied in practice, the experience gained during the training will surely improve the effectiveness of the national anti-money laundering system in the long run", he said.
Zhurabek Boliev, Deputy Head of the Anti-Money Laundering Division of the Department for Combating Economic Crime at the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Uzbekistan, noted that effective investigation and prosecution of ML cases, including those committed with the use of crypto-assets, and international cooperation in asset recovery are pivotal in ensuring financial security of countries.
