International

The FIU makes a significant contribution in the global fight against money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing both at a domestic and international level.

The FIU has been an active member of the EGMONT Group of FIUs since its inception in 1995. The group is an informal network of 164 FIUs. Its goal is to provide a forum for FIUs around the world to improve cooperation in the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism and to foster secure communication among members through the secure communication system called the EGMONT Secure Web (ESW).

The FIU also plays a key role in ensuring that Guernsey complies with initiatives or assessments by other international bodies.

International Legal Assistance

A core function of the FIU is the dissemination of financial intelligence to other EGMONT FIUs, law enforcement agencies and competent authorities.

If, on receipt of financial intelligence from the FIU, a jurisdiction requires assistance for the purpose of investigations or criminal proceedings (including in rem civil proceedings relating to the proceeds of crime), the competent authority for providing mutual legal assistance is the Bailiwick's Law Officers of the Crown. The Law Officers have published guidance on applying to the Bailiwick of Guernsey for Mutual Legal Assistance - see document on this page.
