Coordinated resilience – Egmont, the push through Covid-19 [Video]

Coronavirus has affected everyone, national financial intelligence units not excepted: they had to react almost overnight, often shifting to remote working with highly sensitive, law enforcement mission-critical data on money laundering, terrorist financing and other predicate crime. Hennie Verbeek-Kusters, Chair of the Egmont Group of FIUs, and Head of FIU-Nederland, discusses with Keith Nuthall how well the 166 members have managed to maintain operations – exchanging data, through online meetings and training, addressing, inter alia, tax evasion, the criminality around cryptocurrencies, finance in child sexual exploitation, trade-based money laundering and corruption – over the course of the pandemic.
