October 30 2020. Within the CFMLAR project – Criminal Finance, Money Laundering and Asset Recovery-, I was asked to lead an Europol Expert Group of technical experts from the national federal criminal investigation offices in Europe. CFMLAR is part of EMPACT, the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats. Over several years of work, we have developed joint recommendations. The expert group adopted this in our last workshop from October 28th to 30th, 2020 at the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in Wiesbaden. Our recommendations were then handed over to the EU Commission.
