At the beginning of February, Europol, Thomson Reuters and the World Economic Forum launched a new public/private coalition with the aim to mobilise and influence decisions-makers at the highest levels in the fight against financial crime and modern slavery.

In particularly, the coalition wants to raise awareness among global leaders on the topic of financial crime as a critical challenge with grave financial and human consequences; promote more effective information sharing between public and private entities on a coordinated, global level; and establish enhanced processes to share compliance best practice and approaches to more robust customer due diligence.

The coalition is seeking additional members.
