Anti-Money Laundering Assistance Team
The Anti-Money Laundering Assistance Team (AMLAT) is a specialised team within the International Legal Assistance Branch, supporting the Pacific, South-East Asia, South Asia and Africa teams. AMLAT has expertise in money laundering, proceeds of crime systems and counter-financing of terrorism.
AMLAT was established to assist Pacific island countries to meet international anti-money laundering and counter financing of terrorism standards. AMLAT has recently expanded its program of assistance to include Asia.
AMLAT's legal and law enforcement advisers and consultants travel regularly in the region to provide capacity building assistance in a number of areas, including:
- legal policy and legislative advice, including the drafting and reviewing of anti-money laundering, counter-financing of terrorism and proceeds of crime laws
- developing administrative procedures, forms, guidelines and regulations,
- developing prosecutor pairing programs, and
- training and mentoring in the investigation and prosecution of money laundering, terrorist financing and proceeds of crime.
