The sophistication of transnational and organized crime requires that judicial and public prosecutors, investigators from the National Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC) and staff from the Mozambique Financial Intelligence Office (GIFIM) be better prepared to unravel money laundering schemes involving complex transaction networks and structures that allow concealment, dissimulation, anonymity and that transcend national borders.

The challenge was launched yesterday by Gloria Adamo, Deputy Attorney General, at the beginning of the training on "Offshore Structures and Mutual Legal Assistance", focused on the investigation of economic and financial crime, with emphasis on money laundering and asset recovery.

The training aims to provide trainees with knowledge about how offshore territories work, how they can be used to hide the proceeds of crime, and how to successfully conduct criminal investigations in offshore territories.
