Monaco Cracks Down on Money Laundering with Cutting-Edge AML/CTF Software Solution

Enhancing Anti-Money Laundering Policy

In an effort to strengthen its anti-money laundering policy, Monaco’s Information and Control Service of Financial Circuits (SICCFIN) has been working diligently to upgrade its computer system. This government-backed initiative involves the installation of “goAML”, a sophisticated software developed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), specifically designed for Financial Intelligence Units like SICCFIN.

Empowering Countries in the Fight Against Money Laundering

The primary objective of this state-of-the-art solution is to empower countries in their fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The all-in-one platform provides a comprehensive toolset, catering to FIUs of varying sizes, which has already been successfully deployed in several countries worldwide. Its international recognition speaks volumes about its effectiveness.

Gaining Insight into the Software’s Operation

Recently, three Monaco agents - Karine Imbert, Eric Bergesi, and Yann Raconnat le Goff - visited Liechtenstein at the invitation of EFFI Director Daniel Thelesklaf to gain insight into the software’s operation. Having been implemented by Liechtenstein several months prior, the visit provided a unique opportunity for SICCFIN staff to forge stronger ties with their EFFI counterparts.
