US embassy cable - 05SANTIAGO2042

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Per reftel, Embassy's Terrorism Finance Coordination 
Officer (TFCO) is Deputy Chief of Mission Emi Lynn Yamauchi 
(56-2-330-3337; YamauchiEmichan@state.gov; 
YamauchiEL@state.sgov.gov) and Deputy TFCO is EPOL Officer 
Stephanie Acosta-Mikulasek (56-2-330-3394; 
AcostaMSM@state.gov; MikulasekS@state.sgov.gov). 
 
2. Per reftel request, Embassy agrees that coordination among 
TFCOs, and between TFCOs and appropriate State and Treasury 
offices, would be improved by regional conferences, visits to 
post by TF experts, regular email updates by TF offices, a 
virtual working group to share best practices, and regional 
training for host country nationals. 
 
3.  To better engage host country, Post suggests an awareness 
campaign targeting banks/other relevant institutions and 
agencies, and subsequently the general public. 
 
4. The TFCO has not received training on TF or CT.  The 
Deputy TFCO attended PE-141 training at FSI in July 2005, but 
has not received CT training. 
 
5.  Post would welcome training opportunities (including 
central funding) and any communication related to TF and CT.
