ANTI-CORRUPTION SEMINAR ON ASSET FORFEITURE AND MONEY LAUNDERING
May 4, 2006
Prosecutors and other government anti-corruption experts from 34 countries in the region are meeting in Miami this week for a workshop on recovering assets and property in cases involving official corruption. The seminar, which continues through Friday, is sponsored by the U.S. government, with support from the Organization of American States (OAS).
Participants are studying such issues as legal procedures available in different countries for the forfeiture of assets derived from public corruption; techniques for investigating and prosecuting money laundering offenses; and effective methods for detecting international transfers of funds. Other areas of focus include investigating corruption in public procurement, in the police and military, in customs and revenue services, and inside extractive industries.
Mary Lee Warren, Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, will moderate a session Friday on the prospects for future cooperation on these issues.
“The purpose of this workshop is to improve the practical, technical capacity of the countries to investigate and prosecute corruption-related activities and to further hemispheric cooperation in this area,” said Jorge García González, who heads the OAS Office of Legal Cooperation. He added that the seminar, which brings together nearly 100 experts from around the hemisphere, complements other OAS efforts to carry out the 1996 Inter-American Convention against Corruption.
The workshop responds to mandates of the Special Summit of the Americas, which took place in January 2004. In the Declaration of Nuevo León, adopted at that meeting, the countries made a commitment “to deny safe haven to corrupt officials, to those who corrupt them, and their assets; and to cooperate in their extradition as well as in the recovery and return of the proceeds of corruption to their legitimate owners.”
On a global level, the Group of 8 (G-8), which includes the United States, has also made commitments to promote international cooperation on this issue.
