A scoping mission of a CoE expert to the Moroccan Financial Intelligence Unit Unité de traitement du renseignement financier- UTRF) took place on 13 October 2016. The CoE expert discussed with UTRF good practices and working methods to receive, analyse and properly disseminate suspicious transaction reports pertaining to money laundering from corruption offences. Further to this mission, a proposal for red flag indicators to detect corruption-related transaction will be prepared and shared with the UTRF.

A training activity to be organised in March 2017 will also address the needs identified by the expert to further strengthen the Unit’s methods for analysing corruption-related money laundering cases, as well as the capacities of reporting institutions to identify and file corruption-related suspicious transaction reports.
