Between 9 and 12 June, Hong Kong Customs and the University of Hong Kong co-organised the Regional Workshop on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Frameworks: Tackling Traditional and Modern Challenges in the Digital Age for the first time. The Workshop brought together over 60 participants from customs administrations, government agencies, international organisations, law enforcement agencies and academia across Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific (A/P) region. The curriculum covered AML strategies and emerging typologies, regulation of virtual assets, crypto-related crime investigations, application of regulatory technology in financial crime prevention, and international co-operation in AML. The Workshop aimed at fostering knowledge exchanges and capacity building in AML across the A/P region.
