Financial Intelligence Units around the world enter into MOUs to foster cooperation with their international counterparts by sharing information. This collaboration is vital in the global fight against ML/TF, which often involves complex cross-border criminal networks.

The NCFI-Oman is mandated to receive, analyze and request reports and information, suspected of being related or linked to proceeds of crime, ML or TF activities. The FIU-Sri Lanka serves as the focal point for Anti Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework for Sri Lanka and collects, analyses and disseminates information on suspicious financial transactions relating to ML/TF or any other unlawful activities.

Dr. Subhani Keerthiratne, Director of the FIU-Sri Lanka, and Colonel. Abdul Rahman Amur Al-Kiyumi, Executive President of the NCFI-Oman signed the MOU on behalf of the respective institutions. With the signing of this MOU, the FIU-Sri Lanka has now entered into MOUs with 46 foreign counterparts for sharing of information for intelligence purposes.
