ARA HANDS OVER TWO SUVs TO THE DCI

The Director DCI Mr Mohamed I. Amin has lauded the collaboration between the Directorate and the Asset Recovery Agency (ARA), pledging continued partnerships in fighting money laundering, terrorist financing and other serious frauds with the aim of making the country a hostile ground for criminal enterprises. Mr Amin made these remarks during the handing over ceremony of two motor vehicles to the DCI by ARA, the two being part of a fleet of proceeds of crime identified, traced and seized by the Agency. "We shall persist in investigating perpetrators of money laundering, and make the illicit business a very expensive affair. Such is the language criminals understand when we say that crime does not pay," added Mr Amin. Meanwhile, the Director ARA Brigadier (Rtd) Alice Mate also lauded the close cooperation with the DCI as one of the Agency's key stakeholders, adding that today's exercise aligned with ARA's mandate to recover and dispose such seized proceeds of crime by giving them out to other government agencies. The event took place at DCI's Mazingira Complex, and was witnessed by a host of senior officers from the DCI and the ARA delegation that accompanied Brig. (Rtd) Mate.
