WASHINGTON—On September 15 and 16, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and Canada’s Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre (FINTRAC)—the financial intelligence units of the United States and Canada—convened the Second Annual FINTRAC–FinCEN Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Symposium in Washington, D.C. Government officials from Australia and the United Kingdom also attended the Symposium.
The United States and Canada reaffirmed their commitment to working together across a range of international security threats. In addition to combatting fentanyl trafficking, dismantling human trafficking organizations, and targeting online child exploitation, both sides recognized the growing threat of Chinese money laundering networks and how it enables these malign activities.
