US embassy cable - 03TEGUCIGALPA132

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.  USAID/Honduras does not have any current or planned 
activities involving training and/or technical assistance in 
the areas of money laundering, counter terrorism finance, or 
financial intelligence unit development.  The Mission is not 
aware of any training and/or technical assistance in these 
activities that are being or will be conducted or sponsored 
in Honduras by other donors, IFIs, and NGOs. 
 
2.  The Mission notes that in order to help the Honduran 
government implement its new anti-money laundering law, 
which entered into force in June 2001, the Embassy has 
coordinated with experts in Treasury over the last six 
months to provide several money laundering technical 
assistance activities.  USAID/Honduras has not been involved 
in this effort.
