Second update to the Money Laundering Regional Threat Report

The GAFILAT Regional Money Laundering Threat Assessment Report, updated in 2017-2018, identifies major risks such as tax evasion, corruption, and drug trafficking. It highlights the use of frontmen and legal structures in money laundering, with the banking sector being the most vulnerable. It also notes emerging threats like illicit trafficking of migrants and environmental crimes, though their detection and prosecution remain limited. Convictions often involve frequent participation of local criminal organizations.
