International capacity building in economic and financial investigations

When referring to international cooperation, major attention shall be given to training activities against illegal economy that allow the community of states to strengthen their own response to criminal threats as well as to develop widespread sensibility and common investigative culture to counter such offences.

The Guardia di Finanza promotes a number of initiatives in this field through the 2nd Department within the Headquarters, under the coordination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in charge of bilateral relations with beneficial States.

Other forms of high-level cooperation are promoted on the multilateral level, by means of agreements and specific projects with the Organization of United Nations – UN, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - OECD, the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering – FATF, the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations - CIAT and the Network of Tax Organizations – NTO.
