Odaily Daily reported that the "Regional Anti Money Laundering Capacity Building Workshop: New Challenges in Traditional and Digital Times" jointly organized by Hong Kong Customs and the University of Hong Kong was held for four consecutive days from June 9th and successfully concluded today (June 12th). After signing a memorandum of cooperation at the International Forum on Combating Money Laundering and Transnational Organized Crime in December last year, the Hong Kong Customs and the University of Hong Kong held this workshop to further strengthen the Customs' capacity building work in combating money laundering, especially the trend of virtual assets and the risks they bring. It is reported that Hong Kong Customs is collaborating with the University of Hong Kong to develop a digital tool for tracking cryptocurrency transactions used in suspected money laundering schemes. （Cointelegraph）
