PHNOM PENH, 05/03 - A 10-day training course has opened here on how to investigate questionable financial transactions as the gambling industry and threat of money laundering grow, local media reported on Wednesday.
A number of policemen, prosecutors and other officials are attending the training course which started on Tuesday.
General Net Savoeun said it is necessary for Cambodia to conduct such training because financial investigations are necessary to identify cross-border political, terrorist and trafficking crimes, Khmer-language newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea reported.
The course was organized by the Interior Ministry's National Police Commissioner in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the World Bank.
Ric Power, UNODC advisor on money laundering, said that cooperation among concerned officials at both national and international levels is needed to successfully complete such investigations.
UN officials said that it is relatively easy for money- laundering organizations to operate in Cambodia as the country is currently experiencing a boom in gambling and casinos.
An official of the Interior Ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity, accused a football betting company and some casinos of being places where criminals launder money.
