US and Argentine government officials held the fifth meeting of the Argentina-United States Dialogue on Illicit Finance (AUDIF) in Buenos Aires on January 9 and 10 to discuss shared money laundering and terrorist finance threats, including Hizballah, in the Tri-Border Area between Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.
The meeting — the latest US effort to coordinate with South American nations to disrupt terrorist financing — also explored “identification and action against the proceeds of corruption,” according to a US Department of the Treasury press release.
