Recital 81

(81) The movement of illicit money traverses borders and can affect different Member States. The cross-border cases, involving multiple jurisdictions, are becoming increasingly frequent and significant, also due to the activities carried out by obliged entities on a cross-border basis. In order to deal effectively with cases that concern several Member States, FIUs should be able to go beyond the simple exchange of information for the detection and analysis of suspicious transactions and activities and carry out jointly the analytical activity itself. FIUs have reported certain important issues which limit or condition the capacity of FIUs to engage in joint analysis. Carrying out joint analysis of suspicious transactions and activities will enable FIUs to exploit potential synergies, to use information from different sources, to obtain a full picture of the anomalous activities and to enrich the analysis. FIUs should be able to conduct joint analyses of suspicious transactions and activities and to set up and participate in joint analysis teams for specific purposes and limited period with the assistance of AMLA. AMLA should use the FIU.net system in order to be able to send, receive and cross-match information and provide operational support to FIUs in the context of the joint analysis of cross-border cases.
