Aspects of investigating money laundering cases were discussed by Dr Norhashimah Haji Yasin, an invited speaker from the International Islamic University of Malaysia, on the last day of a two-day workshop on money laundering at the iCentre yesterday.
Other topics covered during the morning session included ‘Investigation by competent authority’, ‘Appointment and power of investigation officer’, ‘Power to examine and search a person’, ‘Obstruction to exercise powers’, ‘Tipping-off’, as well as ‘Delivery and seizing of property’.
In the afternoon session, speakers touched on terrorism financing, which is far less easy to detect compared to money laundering cases.
In Brunei Darussalam, there is an Act against this type of crime to make provisions for measures to be taken against terrorism under the law, namely the Anti-Terrorism (Financial & Other Measures) Act 2002 (Rev 2008).
Some 24 people took part in the workshop, which was organised by Crescent.
