Bangladesh, US unveil money laundering bench book for courts
Bangladesh and the United States on Saturday jointly launched the Money Laundering Bench Book, a new resource aimed at strengthening the country’s fight against financial crimes.
The initiative was launched through a partnership involving the US Embassy in Dhaka, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh and the Ministry of Law.
Developed with support from the US Department of State and the US Department of Justice’s Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT), the Bench Book provides practical guidance for judges, prosecutors and investigators handling money laundering cases, according to US Mission spokesperson Poornima Rai.
She said the publication is designed to enhance judicial capacity and promote the effective application of anti-money laundering laws, helping safeguard the integrity of the financial sector while supporting stable investment and long-term economic growth.
