DUBAI, 7 February 2004 — Money laundering will be an important item on the agenda at Channels, an international global banking strategy summit at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dubai from April 25-28.
Among the invited speakers are Humberto Aguilar, a former criminal defense lawyer who became a criminal and is now an anti-money laundering expert.
“I’ve been retained by the US Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and Customs Security to help detect laundered money which finances terrorism,” says Miami-based Aguilar.
In addition to globalization, profitability and technology discussed at Channels, multichannel delivery strategies, the subjects of bancassurance, branding, product innovations and Islamic finance will also be addressed.
“Channels will be the banking industry’s biggest event in Dubai this year. It will be a unique forum that will not be afraid to deal with thorny issues,” says event organizer Cordelia Henry.
