A team of financial experts from the US Department of the Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), are visiting the Republic of Cyprus from September 15 to September 19, 2024, to meet with counterparts from the Ministries of Finance, Justice, and the Cyprus National Police.

In a press release on Monday the US Embassy in Nicosia said the visit "will serve as an opportunity to discuss emerging money laundering tactics and other financial crimes affecting both countries, and law enforcement techniques to tackle them."

“This is part of the United States' ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration, training, and sharing of information with international partners in the fight against illicit financial activity,” the Embassy noted.

Ambassador Julie Fisher said on a post on platform X that "together, we're strengthening efforts to combat money laundering and related financial crimes."
