The Financial Intelligence Service (Samifin) is taking a new step in the fight against money laundering. Meeting yesterday at its headquarters in Ambohijanaka, the organization launched a call for papers for the third edition of the Anti-Money Laundering Prevention Day (JPBC), scheduled for October 29 and 30 in Antananarivo. Researchers, public institutions, financial and legal professionals, civil society, and international partners are invited to submit their contributions.
Following a previous edition that featured eighteen speakers, this initiative aims to deepen the reflection on money laundering, terrorist financing, and, this year, the recovery of illicit assets. This approach is intended to produce knowledge useful for investigations. “This initiative will bring out ideas and data that will help improve prosecutions,” explains Lalao Razanamanantsoa, acting Director General of Samifin.
As a technical partner of the event, the European Union reaffirms its support for strengthening the Malagasy framework. “It is essential for the structure and integrity of the economy,” declared Roland Kobia, Ambassador of the European Union to Madagascar, who believes this new initiative is important for combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and illicit trafficking, noting that this technical support concerns all economic sectors in a cross-cutting manner.
