tent authorities in their investigations, prosecutions, and applications for asset forfeiture. The FIC administers the FIC Act as part of government’s framework for combating money laundering, the financing of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction and identifying the proceeds of crime. In responding to comments and queries, the FIC is limited to providing broad information about its oversight role and function. It can not comment on the work of the supervisory bodies, accountable institutions nor that of the competent authorities, all of which are independent of the FIC.

✅ The FIC has received regulatory reports, information or requests for information
✅ A matter is or is not being investigated by law enforcement or any other competent authority
✅ Financial intelligence or any other report has or has not been prepared on a particular matter

Any disclosure related to the above would be contrary to the provisions of the FIC Act and could put at risk the FIC, its partners, institutions that report to it, persons who report information to the FIC and any other related persons or entities.
