The National Lottery and the Ministry of Finance in Mexico have formalized a cooperation agreement through the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), aimed at enhancing preventative measures against money laundering. The signing took place in Mexico City's UIF headquarters, with Olivia Salomón, the General Director of the National Lottery, and Omar Reyes Colmenares, head of the UIF, leading the initiative. This agreement reflects a strategic alignment with national regulatory frameworks.

Among the key actions proposed in the agreement are the establishment of inter-institutional working groups that will facilitate the exchange of experiences and strengthen technical capabilities in the realm of preventing illicit financial activities. Additionally, the National Lottery and the UIF plan to organize training courses, diplomas, and activities focused on the detection of operations involving illicit resources, aiming to build robust competencies within both organizations.

This collaboration highlights the ongoing commitment of Mexican authorities to combat financial crimes, particularly money laundering, by strengthening the coordination between various governmental bodies. By pooling resources and expertise, they aim to create a more efficient and effective system to prevent the unlawful use of resources, safeguarding the integrity of financial operations within the country.
