“They the criminals will find innovative ways to do business, in some instances we are already behind ten steps, but we have to do what it takes to educate and increase awareness, so this training is one aimed at building a broad base capacity among our stakeholders,” he said. “At the end of the training I want you to see yourself as part of the network of fighting financial crimes, and you will be adding value to work done to combat money laundering and asset recovery,” he told the participants.

Giovanni James, Senior Legal Advisor at the Regional Security Systems (RSS), Asset Recovery Unit, (ARU) explained that fighting financial crimes should be seen from a wider perspective will the full aim of getting the message out that crime does not pay.

“Most people commit crimes for profit, and our work is coming up with innovative ways to take the profit out of crimes so that the young generation will not see it as normal. However, it’s important that the people on the ground must have the working tools because if these persons on the ground do not have the tools to fight crime, nothing will get done. This training is part of the process to update you,” he said.

James also advised the participants to not be myopic in their thinking and should always consider that financial crimes are linked to all classification of criminal activities.
