The Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering (APML) is participating at the 21st Egmont Group Plenary which is taking place from 1 to 5 July 2013 in Sun City, South Africa.

In addition to the regular meetings of the Heads of FIUs, Egmont Committee, Regional Groups and the five EG Working Groups (Legal WG, IT WG, Training WG, Operational WG, Outreach WG), a number of operational trainings are taking place in parallel, covering the topics of corruption and money laundering, securing an FIU, international cooperation, tax crimes as predicate crimes to money laundering, etc.

Given APML’s most recent experiences and active participation in the Egmont Group, Director Aleksandar Vujičić has held presentations on international information exchange with a particular focus on the Serbian FIU’s exchange with its regional neighbours, on the recently conducted National Risk Assessment in Serbia, as well as on Serbian experiences in fighting laundering of proceeds from tax crimes.

Egmont Group is a network of 131 financial intelligence units (FIUs) around the world exchanging financial intelligence through the Egmont Secure Website (ESW).
