Letter to all IEWG members

Dear colleagues,

 

We are writing you on behalf of the IEWG project team on “Conclusions from the large scale cross-border ML schemes”. The work of this project is divided into different Work Streams. As part of Work Stream III (Case collection) we are now looking to obtain Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML)-related cases in order to allow the team to analyse this specific component and provide input to the joint FATF-Egmont work on TBML.

Initially, the case collection covered only project team members but unfortunately, the number of TBML-related cases obtained during this phase is not sufficient to guarantee the successful completion of the analysis and provide information to the joint FATF-Egmont Group work on TBML. Therefore, we would like to kindly ask for the assistance of all IEWG members.

 

Big Picture Goals:

1.             Collection of sanitized case studies on TBML as well as cases from large scale cross-border ML schemes,
2.             Preparation of “Case book”,
3.             Contribution of TBML cases to the joint work of RTMG and IEWG.

 

In the attachment, please find following documents:

1. Template for the case collection.

 

You are kindly asked to provide one or two TBML-related cases by using the case collection template and return it back no later that March 2nd, 2020.

In case you have any questions, don´t hesitate to contact us.Thank you very much for your cooperation.

 

Best regards,

EGS
