Welcome to the Egmont Group

About the Egmont Group

Recognizing the importance of international cooperation in the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism, a group of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) met at the Egmont Arenberg Palace in Brussels, Belgium, and decided to establish an informal network of FIUs for the stimulation of international co-operation.

Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism are serious crimes that threaten to destabilize the global economy. The Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units was created to provide FIUs around the world a forum to exchange information confidentially to combat Money-Laundering, the Financing of Terrorism and other predicate offences. To have a better understanding of the subject matter, the Egmont Group created this short awareness raising video for the benefit of the public.
