The autonomous national Unit responsible for receiving disclosures, conducting sophisticated operational and strategic analysis, and disseminating intelligence to combat money laundering, predicate offenses, and terrorist financing.

Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs)

Specialized investigative bodies mandated to conduct parallel financial investigations alongside traditional criminal inquiries to uncover money laundering and terrorist financing. They utilize advanced techniques like undercover operations and wiretapping to gather evidence, while maintaining legal access to all financial records and FIU intelligence.

Judicial Authorities / Public Prosecution

Legal authorities responsible for directing criminal proceedings and converting financial intelligence into formal charges to ensure ML/TF offenses are successfully tried in court. They employ compulsory measures to secure witness statements and documents, ultimately delivering dissuasive sanctions and final judicial rulings.

Asset Recovery & Confiscation Units

Designated competent authorities empowered to expeditiously identify, trace, and initiate the freezing and seizing of criminal assets and property of corresponding value. They target illicit financial flows and cross-border cash couriers to ensure the permanent confiscation of criminal proceeds, preventing their reintegration into the economy.
