Conference on Money Laundering in Bulgaria

Representatives of six institutions responsible for countering money laundering in Bulgaria will talk about their activities at a conference in Sofia on May 8. The conference is organized by RiskMonitor and the National Investigative Service. The participants in the debate will include speakers from the State Agency for National Security, the Ministry of Interior, the National Investigative Service, the Prosecution Office of the Republic of Bulgaria, the Criminal Assets Identification Commission, and the Sofia Appellate Court.

Laundering money obtained from criminal activity is reaching alarming proportions worldwide. Some experts estimate that turnover in this “business” varies from USD 600 billion to 3 trillion a year. The conference participants will discuss the question of whether Bulgaria is taking adequate measures against this phenomenon.

The conference on “Money Laundering: The Response of Institutions” is organized with the support of the Matra/KAP Program of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Republic of Bulgaria.
