Money Laundering Conference |
Greetings to all.
This is to draw to your attention a conference which
might be of interest to list members. It is not entirely about restitution,
but my work in tracing has led me into this area and I think it is interesting
and becoming more and more important.
The law schools at the University of Windsor and the
University of Detroit Mercy are putting on the Canada-United States International
Money Laundering Conference, 1-3 May 1996, in Windsor, Ont. Grandees include
the Solicitor General of Canada, the Attorney General of the US (tentatively),
the Canadian Ambassador to the US and the US Ambassador to Canada (the
last two may or may not be on speaking terms depending on the Cuba situation).
The panels are on Federal Enforcement, Internal Controls
and Monitoring (ie for banks etc to comply with reporting requirements),
Extradition, Forfeiture, Casinos, International Cooperation in Money Laundering,
State/Provincial Enforcement, Know Your Customer, Lawyers Beware (forfeiture
of fees which are proceeds of crime, office searches etc), and Undercover
and Sting Operations.
The panelists are defence lawyers, Crown/US attorney
prosecuting lawyers, department of justice lawyers, law enforcement officials
(eg RCMP, FBI), bankers, financial investigators, and academics.
The cost to academics (and government employees) is CAN$495
or US$395, which is pretty steep, but on the other hand there are good
reduced hotel rates and four meals are included. (Cost for others is CAN$795/US$695.)
The contact person is Dolores J. Blonde, Conference Coordinator,
University of Windsor, Faculty of Law, 401 Sunset Ave., Windsor, Ont.
Canada N9B 3P4, tel. 519 253 4232, ext. 2941, fax 519 973 7064.
Maybe if we all grumble about their not providing a decent
rate for academics they might do something about it. (I did my part, grumbling
vociferously.) On the other hand they are probably happy to fill the thing
up with bankers and lawyers paying the full shot.
