OAS to hold Workshop on Combating Terrorist Financing
April 16, 2012
The Organization of the American States (OAS) and the Government of the United States will hold a practical workshop on combating terrorist financing from the 18th to the 26th of April, 2012.
The workshop will be coordinated by the Inter-American Committee on Terrorism of the OAS and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office of the United States, and forms part of a series of courses on the cross border smuggling of cash.
The seven workdays will include theoretical sessions, practical exercises and study visits to three of the most important border posts in the United States: Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the Port of Long Beach, and the border post of San Ysidro in San Diego, California.
The program, which has already trained nearly 300 officials specialized in financial crimes, will bring to Los Angeles 25 prosecutors, analysts, financial intelligence units, customs officials and police from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay to study the investigation and prosecution of cross-border transportation of cash for illegal ends.
The objectives of the workshop are to strengthen strategic and operational capacities to prevent and combat the smuggling of cash in the region, and to improve coordination and cooperation in this area. In addition participants will also exchange best practices relative to new techniques of analysis, investigation and prosecution.
The inaugural session will take place in the Espada Room of the Sheraton Hotel Delfina in Santa Monica (California, US) on April 18 at 9:00 PST (17:00 GMT).
