International Cooperation

The FIU is the vehicle by which informal cooperation is provided. It should be fast and reasonably unfettered in its nature. However, it will generally be the subject of specific agreements between countries. Formal cooperation or mutual assistance will be through the provision of the freezing of funds, seizure of assets, enforcement of foreign court orders, transmission of physical and testimonial evidence or the transfer of witnesses. It is a system to assist not only money laundering, but also transnational crime. This is generally achieved by requests from the Central Authority of one country to the Central Authority of another country. These applications invariably proceed through the courts and can take some time.
