Members of the Association participated in the UNODS seminar with the participation of specialists from the USA and Switzerland and received UN trainer certificates

Members of the Association – Zayets Oleksandr Mykhailovych and Kholostenko Andriy Volodymyrovych took part in two-day seminars “Corporate Structures and Financial Instruments and Their Use for Money Laundering” and “Destruction of Financial Flows” with the participation of specialists from the USA and Switzerland.

Their goal is to familiarize Ukrainian specialists with the experience of law enforcement agencies of foreign countries in the field of combating the legalization of funds obtained through criminal means.

The meeting was opened by the Vice-Rector of the National Academy of Internal Affairs Serhiy Chernyavsky, who expressed gratitude to those present for their interest in the event, and also thanked the Head of the UNDOC Global Program Oleksiy Feshchenko and the program expert Kateryna Bugaets for their constant support and cooperation.

The topic of combating money laundering is a priority area for Ukraine. In our country, specialized structures are being created to counteract this phenomenon and regulatory legal acts are being adopted, but the problem remains incompletely studied.

The seminars were attended by employees of many higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine and the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine. Gaining international experience is no less important, which is why experts Mark van Til from the Swiss Confederation and Andriy Muntyan from the United States of America will be present during the seminars.

The head of the UNDOC program, Oleksiy Feshchenko, was also invited to speak, who spoke about the areas that will be explored during the seminar and the specialists who will lead and coordinate the process of exchange of experience.

It should be noted that such events are very important for effective practical solutions to pressing issues at the state level.
