International Business Association<\/em> (FIBA) signed a collaboration agreement that strengthens the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Prevention System in gambling through the promotion of Anti-Money Laundering (AMLCA-Gambling) certifications for the main players in this sector.&nbsp; <strong><\/strong>\n\nThe agreement was signed by the Minister of the MHE, Mag\u00edn D\u00edaz, and the Executive Director of FIBA, David Schwartz, who agreed on the need for this alliance to prevent illicit activities of this type in gambling (casinos, lottery agencies, sports betting and electronic lottery concessions, among others).\n\nWith this collaboration, which is part of a broad strategy of the MHE in the matter, the State&#8217;s capacity is strengthened and it is promoted that the frontline entities of this area have trained and duly certified personnel.\n\nIn that sense, FIBA will contribute its recognized international experience to establish, together with the MHE, through the Directorate of Casinos and Gambling, a Certification program in Anti-Money Laundering (AMLCA-Gambling) with a focus on the Dominican Republic, aimed at institution officials, game operators, and all obligated subjects in this sector.\n\nFor this, FIBA&#8217;s link with Florida International University (FIU) will be used as essential entities for training and increasing the capabilities of human resources.\n\nThe agreement is part of the implementation of Resolution No. 217-2025, a regulation that establishes the mandatory requirement of suitability and certified training for Compliance Officers with the aim of standardizing the competencies of Dominican professionals with the standards required internationally and by correspondent banking, facilitating access to high-level certifications that validate the Risk-Based Approach (RBA) for the prevention of money laundering required by the State.\n\nWith this alliance, the country&#8217;s vulnerability to evaluations by international organizations such as the Financial Action Task Force of Latin America (GAFILAT) is reduced, since, beyond training, the State&#8217;s anti-money laundering defense architecture is strengthened.\n\nThis alliance is part of the institutional strengthening policy carried out by the Ministry in collaboration with global organizations to ensure that the regulated sector has options of excellence to guarantee its professionalization and legal compliance.\n\nIn the activity, Minister D\u00edaz was accompanied by the Vice Minister of Treasury and Heritage, Derby De Los Santos; the Head of Cabinet of the Ministry, Romeo Ramlakhan and Claudia \u00c1lvarez, Director of Casino and Gambling, among others.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About FIBA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nFIBA is a non-profit association of international recognition, a leader in financial education, regulatory compliance and specialized conferences.\n\nYour AMLCA program, developed in collaboration with Florida International University (FIU), offers a solid knowledge base in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, with updated content aligned with global regulatory changes.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Finance and Economy (MHE) and the Financial &amp;
