The 24th annual meetings of the Egmont Group for Financial Investigation Units, which was held in #Malta, concluded last week, where the delegation of the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Unit, headed by Ms. Samya Abu Sharif, Head of the Unit, actively participated in the working group meetings and the regional group meetings.
Over the course of a week, the Kingdom’s delegation participated in:
- Heads of financial investigation units meeting (HoFIUs), during which the most prominent projects and new activities were discussed and approved, and the strategic plan for the Egmont Group for the period 2022-2027 was also discussed.
- The working group meetings related to the nature of the work of financial investigation units, expanding and organizing the scope of cooperation, exchanging experiences for units around the world, increasing their effectiveness, and focusing on safe communication between them.
- A number of sub-meetings were also held with heads of counterpart units in the region and abroad to discuss developing the unit’s work and various areas of cooperation, including a meeting of the Head of AMLU with its counterparts from countries of the region, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and the Republic of Tunisia.
We express our deep thanks and appreciation for the efforts made by the #Malta FIU, in hosting these meetings. We also extend our thanks to the Head of the Financial Information Unit in Malta, Mr. Alfred Zammit, and the Egmont Group Secretariat, for organizing and ensuring the successful organization of these meetings.
