The United States Secret Service will train the officials of six Bangladeshi agencies to enhance their ability to tackle money laundering and terror financing.
Around 60 officials of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), four units of Bangladesh Police including the Criminal Investigation Department, the National Board of Revenue (NBR), the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), the Department of Narcotics Control, and Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) will get the trainings in two phases, reports UNB.
Among them, 20 officials of BFIU will take part in the training. A delegation of the American Secret Service will come to Bangladesh soon to conduct the training.
In the first phase, a five-day training programme will begin at the Police Staff College in the capital from November 10, followed by another five-day training session from November 17.
Another two sets of follow-up training for the second phase will begin respectively on February 2 and February 9 next year.
After the political changeover, all agencies responsible for tackling money laundering have become active.
