- Dian Ediana Rae, Vice Chairman of the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (“PPATK”), recently addressed the implementation of Public-Private-Partnership (“PPP”) schemes in order to optimize efforts to combat terrorism financing within the Asia Pacific region.
- PPP schemes refer to alliances between financial intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies and reporting parties (financial service providers and goods/service providers) with the aim of creating free exchanges of intelligence so as to realize the ultimate goal of eradicating money laundering and terrorism financing (“MLTF”).
- According to Mr. Rae, such PPP schemes circumnavigate confidentiality and enhance the asset recovery process. However, several issues remain as regards the implementation of such PPP schemes, namely the confidentiality of customer data and information, as well as the low level of political commitment currently being demonstrated around the world.
- In addition, various countries of the Asia Pacific region will be required to harmonize their legal frameworks in terms of any financial investigations and searches which are implemented in relation to virtual assets. This should ultimately help to prevent acts of MLTF being perpetrated by virtual means (e.g. Initial Coin Offering, virtual currency, etc.).
