Namibia steps up game to fight financial crimes

The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) has cautioned the public about the evolving threats of money laundering, terrorism financing and weapons proliferation. These crimes have prompted government to up its game to bolster safety measures, FIC director Bryan Eiseb said.He was speaking at a training session supported by the European Union (EU) that focused on strategic collaborations to bolster law enforcement capabilities in analysing complex financial data for effective criminal investigations and prosecutions. "Let us spare no effort to bring to book those individuals who launder money and believe they can benefit from their crimes at the expense of society at large. We must consolidate our efforts among state agencies, the private sector and international partners to disrupt financial crime. We must use all tools available in our criminal justice arsenal to identify proceeds of financial crimes and intervene on these proceeds so that we demonstrate that crime does not pay," he said. During the week-long training, that will run until Friday, participants will acquire vital skills in financial data analysis, aiming to translate knowledge into tangible outcomes that strengthen Namibia&#039;s anti-money laundering framework.
