The CEO of the Financial Intelligence National Centre and Chairperson of the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing policy committee, Shaikha May bint Mohammed Al Khalifa inaugurated a workshop titled “Detecting Sanctions Evasion” Pursuing and Penalising Offenders.”
The Terrorist Financing Targeting Centre (TFTC), in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organised the workshop.
Shaikha May explained that the workshop aims to discuss ways to strengthen member states' efforts to prevent terrorist groups from evading domestic and international sanctions systems. It also seeks to analyse the structure of sanctions, promote their enforcement, and review available mechanisms to detect and pursue evasion cases.
The workshop featured a discussion of real-world case studies with the participation of several officials and independent experts. It also reviewed emerging typologies related to sanctions evasion and focused on identifying areas for improvement to reduce opportunities for circumvention and enhance effective compliance with national and international sanctions.
This workshop is part of the committee and centre’s ongoing efforts, alongside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local and international partners, to reinforce security and combat terrorism and its financing.
