About

The OSCE Programme Office will support the training workshop on detecting the terrorism financing using money transfer systems for some 40 representatives of state authorities, second-tier banks and wire transfer systems. The event will be conducted by two OSCE-supported experts from Western Union and MoneyGram who will speak about the official and unofficial wire transfer systems and their use for the terrorism financing, drugs operations and human trafficking. The training workshop will review practical exercises and real-life examples related to the terrorism financing and explore ways to strengthen co-operation among the stakeholders.

The event is part of the Programme Office’s longstanding efforts to promote good governance and combat money laundering/financing terrorism in the host country.
