Panama finance ministry trains judges on anti-money laundering measures
Panama’s finance ministry trained senior and criminal-court judges on measures to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of weapons proliferation, the ministry said. The ministry’s technical secretary Isabel Y. Vecchio-Arófulo outlined Panama’s position on international lists and actions needed to leave them; the Supreme Court president announced further information sessions for judges nationwide.
Judicial training forms part of Panama’s stated effort to strengthen its anti-money laundering system, which affects gambling-sector compliance.
