On November 23rd to 25th, 2021, the EU Global Facility on AML CFT participated in the third EuroMed meeting of the Forum of Prosecutors General, which took place at Eurojust in The Hague.
Our Senior Expert on Justice, Victoria Palau, was involved in a series of meetings, including the first cross-regional meeting of the Prosecutors general of the Mediterranean countries and EU MS, which led to the approval of one the first cross-regional Strategic Plan for judicial cooperation.
One of the two strategic topics and action plans approved by the Prosecutors general encompassed the judicial cooperation on the confiscation of crime proceeds and asset recovery, a subject matter at the core of the EU Global Facility’s work as it constitutes a crucial part of the financial investigation and penal chain on AML/CFT.
