The financial crime regulator in Guernsey has signed an agreement to share information with its equivalent in the British Virgin Islands, it has said.
Guernsey’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) investigates suspicious activity related to money laundering, organised crime and the financing of terrorism.
The Memorandum of Understanding [MoU] with the Financial Investigation Agency in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) will result in the organisations sharing their intelligence.
The head of Guernsey FIU, Adrian Hale, said the importance of international cooperation and collaboration “cannot be overstated”.
