Practical Guide for Operational Cooperation between Investigative Authorities and Financial Institutions - Europol
Europol goes on to say:
In the past decade, public-private partnerships across the world have played a crucial role in enabling cooperation between financial institutions, financial intelligence units (FIUs) and investigative authorities to advance criminal investigations. However, this public-private cooperation has been less present in the fight against financial crime, meaning that investigative authorities may miss opportunities to improve their response to financial crime.
EFIPPP's Practical Guide seeks to build awareness among policymakers and relevant authorities about the added value of public-private cooperation. It outlines objectives, benefits, methods and conditions for cooperation, as well as the key factors that legislative frameworks need to accommodate.
The EFIPPP Practical Guide for Operational Cooperation between Investigative Authorities and Financial Institutions has been produced by the EFIPPP’s Legal Gateways Working Group with the collective contribution of EFIPPP members and represents the position of the various members as a whole rather than the views
of single members. As such, this Guide may not be considered exclusively as a work product of either Europol or the European Financial and Economic Crime Centre (EFECC) at Europol, which currently hosts the Secretariat of EFIPPP. The publication and dissemination of this Guide by Europol does not imply Europol’s commercial endorsement of any of the private sector parties involved in the production of the Guide.
