New MoU: Cyprus and Greece Strengthen Anti-Money Laundering Efforts

In a strategic effort against financial misconduct, Cyprus and Greece have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement will enhance the exchange of information related to money laundering and terrorism financing.

Enhancing Cross-Border Collaboration

According to the Law Office, this MoU signifies the beginning of promising collaboration for conducting joint analyses on money laundering risks facing both nations. The initiative will promote the sharing of best practices and capacity-building through joint training.

The primary goals include increasing criminal prosecutions related to money laundering and bolstering the efforts towards freezing or seizing illegal assets.
