On April 3 and 4, 2019, the regional Workshop on “Illegal Trade and the Impact of Money Laundering in Panama” was held and organized by the Financial Action Task Force of Latin America (“GAFILAT”, for its Spanish abbreviation), in which 17 GAFILAT member countries from Latin America participated, among them a representative from Customs, one from the Prosecutor’s Offices and one from the Financial Analysis Units of each country.
During the event, our partner Hugo Moran R. shared with the U.S. Congressman Robert Pittenger, an expert on security and terrorism, and Alejo Campos of Crime Stopper International (CSI), where issues such as illicit trade and the importance of Panama as a transit country were discussed.
