Australia Federal Police
Twenty-six port workers have been arrested in Panama following a two-year international investigation into an organised crime network allegedly responsible for trafficking more than one tonne of cocaine intercepted in Australia and across Europe. Police will allege the network used the Port of Balboa as a key transit hub, relying on corrupt port workers and contractors to contaminate refrigerated shipping containers with illicit drugs before they were exported to Australia and Europe.
GRECO
GRECO has submitted its contribution to the European Commission to support the development of the future EU Anti-Corruption Strategy. Building on more than 25 years of monitoring anti-corruption reforms across its 48 member States, including all 27 EU Member States, GRECO identifies key priorities for the future Strategy, including a stronger preventive approach, effective implementation, risk-based policies and greater coherence with international standards and existing monitoring mechanisms. Drawing on its unique experience of monitoring and peer evaluation across its international membership, GRECO’s contribution highlights good practices and lessons learned to support the European Commission in developing a comprehensive and effective EU Anti-Corruption Strategy.
AMLA
For the first time, supervisors across the EU will apply a harmonised, consistent approach to enforcing breaches of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist-financing rules. AMLA's standards will advance supervisory convergence, so that the same breach in the same circumstances leads to the same enforcement outcome, wherever it happens.
