The ongoing efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in social distancing and even isolation of both the general population and public safety professionals. This new remote workspace and workflow reality with safeguards for minimizing human interaction while accessing agency critical facilities, combined with cancellation of face-to-face training events has led to a range of challenges. It has also presented a number of opportunities to identify new efficiencies and modalities for operations and training both during this ongoing scenario and possibly beyond. This webinar will examine these topics and provide information to address challenges and benefit from opportunities.

Money laundering is a global, trillion-dollar crime that extends into all areas of commerce. Money laundering is not just a standalone crime, but is also a symptom of additional crimes that generate illicit proceeds. Whether due to lone wolf criminals, transnational organized crime, or international corruption, it can be challenging to prove money laundering as both a factual matter and as part of a criminal prosecution.
This webinar will outline not only the essential elements of a criminal case of money laundering, but also examine how additional charges can be brought to flush out the elements of that charge. Learners will get a better understanding of the prosecutor's approach to money laundering (and its related crimes), as well as tools to follow the transactions that can substantiate such a charge. By moving from academic to applied subject matter, learners will gain insight into how to both trace illicit assets and to prepare their findings for criminal cases. The webinar will rely on real-world examples of financial crime and explain how cases like those can be further built out by investigators, analysts, and compliance officers.
