David Fein to Host Webinar on Money Laundering and the Illegal Wildlife Trade
- Events
- January 28, 2022
Litigation special counsel David Fein will host a webinar, “18 Months On – Challenges and Successes following the FATF’s Landmark 2020 Report on the Illegal Wildlife Trade,” in conjunction with United For Wildlife and The Royal Foundation. The program will feature speakers from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Australia’s Fintel Alliance, South Africa’s SAMLIT, the U.K.’s Royal United Services Institute and Interpol.
The FATF’s landmark report provides guidance to countries on measures they can take to combat money laundering from the illegal wildlife trade, which is a major transnational crime that generates billions of dollars in criminal proceeds each year. Wildlife traffickers exploit weaknesses in the financial and non-financial sectors to move, hide and launder their proceeds, enabling further wildlife crimes and damaging financial integrity.
The invite-only webinar will take place on February 2 at 7 a.m. ET/12 p.m. GMT.
