Abstract

This chapter focuses on information and evidence gathering in money laundering cases. Using a range of examples from African countries, it focuses on the challenge of balancing the constitutional rights of PEPs against providing adequate investigative and evidence-gathering powers to AML agencies in line with the FATF Recommendations. Issues include the right to silence/privilege against self-incrimination, legal professional privilege and the right to privacy. The chapter then explores the series of mechanisms facilitating international cooperation between investigators in African states and globally. The crucial need to provide for effective protections for AML agencies, investigators and prosecutors is then reviewed.
