The third edition of the money laundering prevention day was launched yesterday in Ambohijanaka. The Financial Intelligence Service (Samifin) is taking a new step in the fight against money laundering. Meeting yesterday at its Ambohijanaka headquarters, the agency launched the call for contributions for the third edition of the Money Laundering Prevention Day (JPBC), scheduled for October 29-30 in Antananarivo. Researchers, public institutions, professionals in the financial and legal sectors, civil society and international partners are invited to submit their contributions. Following a previous edition marked by the participation of eighteen speakers, this initiative aims to deepen reflection on money laundering, terrorist financing and, this year, the recovery of illicit assets. This approach should help produce knowledge useful for investigations. "This initiative will bring forth ideas and data that will improve prosecutions," explains Lalao Razanamanantsoa, interim director general of Samifin. Technical partner of the event, the European Union reaffirms its support for strengthening Madagascar's system. "This is essential for the structure and integrity of the economy," said Roland Kobia, ambassador of the European Union to Madagascar, who believes this new initiative is important for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and illicit trafficking. He emphasized that this technical support concerns all economic sectors in a cross-cutting manner. Ihariana Sarobidy
