The Danish capital city of Copenhagen will host a meeting of national security agencies and the country’s gambling regulator, covering money-laundering.
Scheduled to take place on 31 October, the session will see relevant stakeholders including Spillemyndigheden, the gambling regulator, undertake extensive case-based anti-money laundering (AML) training.
The training will focus on the responsibilities of persons and businesses subject to AML reporting under the country’s regulatory framework, particularly the requirements of its national AML Act.
“The event is a mix of plenary training and group dialogues, and there will be ample opportunity for knowledge sharing and questions,” a Spillemyndigheden statement read.
“The cases are so broad that there will be angles from all the above organisers and the different cases have been created with input from the industries.”
AML has become a focal area for Danish authorities lately. Just last month, Spillemyndigheden updated its AML guidelines for the country’s gaming industry, noting increased instances of financial crime.
Joining the gaming regulator at the meeting later this month are several other key agencies from across Denmark’s business and law enforcement landscape.
Fellow participants include Danish Business Authority, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, Denmark’s Financial Intelligence Unit, the Danish Bar and Law Society, the Danish Tax Agency, the National Special Crime Unit, as well as the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Interested parties can submit an application to attend until 15 September, with Spillemyndigheden issuing a reminder that there are limited spots at the event, as online participation will not be possible.
