An international seminar on combating the financing of terrorism was held.

A two-day international seminar was held at the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, aimed at strengthening cooperation between financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies in the field of combating the financing of terrorism.

The seminar was organized in cooperation with the Council of Heads of Financial Intelligence Units of the CIS (SRPFR), the Anti-Terrorist Center of the CIS (ATS SNG), the Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (EAG), and the International Training and Methodological Center for Financial Monitoring (MMSFM).

The event was attended by employees of financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies of Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as representatives of international and regional structures such as SRPFR, ATS CIS, EAG, MUMSFM, and the Law Enforcement Academy.

Within the framework of the seminar, information was presented on the trends and current practices in financing the activities of terrorist groups in the territories of the participating states, the implementation of FATF standards for monitoring modern technologies for the collection and movement of funds, and the experience of countering the financing of terrorism committed on darknet networks and using crypto-assets.

During the practical role-playing games held for the participants, mechanisms of interdepartmental cooperation were developed to identify, document, and investigate the methods of collecting and transferring funds by terrorist groups, which, in turn, increased the practical effectiveness of the seminar.

The two-day international seminar will serve to exchange experience in combating the financing of terrorism, enhance the professional potential of participants, and strengthen cooperation.
