GoldBod, EOCO strengthen collaboration to fight gold smuggling
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has held a high-level meeting with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to strengthen collaboration in the fight against gold smuggling, money laundering and other illicit financial flows linked to the gold sector.
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have convened a high-level meeting to deepen their partnership in combating gold smuggling, money laundering and other illicit financial flows connected to the gold industry. The gathering, organized by the Ghana-UK Gold Programme, centred on crafting a GoldBod-EOCO Operational Collaboration Framework.
This proposed framework aims to streamline cooperation between the two entities in addressing gold-related economic and organized crimes. The collaboration is integral to safeguarding the Ghanaian gold value chain, dismantling criminal networks, and ensuring the nation maximizes economic gains from its gold resources. It will also bolster information exchange and coordinated enforcement actions between GoldBod and EOCO.
The goal is to enhance transparency, accountability, and resilience within the gold sector, as well as fortify Ghana's ability to curb gold smuggling and associated financial crimes that hinder revenue generation from the country's gold resources.
