On 11-12 October 2018 EUACI and OSCE brought international experts to Odesa in order to conduct practical workshop dedicated to the fight against corruption, money laundering and financing terrorism.

The representatives of Ukrainian law enforcement, judicial and financial authorities discussed risks, challenges and achievements in this area. In addition to discussion, the workshop had a practical part. Participants had the opportunity to work out in practice the entire sequence of crime disclosure: from financial intelligence and investigation to transferring of the case to court, confiscation and prosecution.

Ihor Gaievskiy, SFMS representative, has noted that SFMS is working on reducing the risks identified by MONEYVAL in the AML/CFT evaluation report, and added: ‘One of the elements of our work is today’s workshop in Odesa, where we discuss the challenges and further steps of our work.’

The training was attended by 45 representatives of the law enforcement, judicial and financial authorities, in particular the State Financial Monitoring Service, NABU, Prosecutor General Office, ARMA, National Police, Supreme Court, State Bureau of Investigations and State Fiscal Service.

Michael Stellini, Deputy Executive Secretary of the MONEYVAL, said that the MONEYVAL’s assessment is the basis for improving the system within the country. ‘The workshop was very fruitful as it has brought together so many different representatives of Ukrainian authorities, which have to work together in order to achieve common goals and outcomes in fight against corruption’, he added.

According to the Rules and Procedures of MONEYVAL, Ukraine is to present its Report on the progress and outcomes on fight against corruption, money laundering and terrorism financing in April 2019.
