The National Lottery and the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit in Mexico, through the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), have entered into a coordination agreement aimed at strengthening mechanisms for collaboration. This initiative is directly aligned with the national regulatory framework for preventing money laundering, emphasizing both entities' commitment to tackling illicit financial activities. The agreement seeks to establish joint actions that will enhance institutional capacities in the prevention and detection of operations involving illicit resources.

Key components of the agreement involve educational projects, training initiatives, and knowledge exchange between the National Lottery and the UIF. It is designed to bolster the preventive measures within their respective responsibilities while ensuring compliance with legal standards governing the prevention of money laundering. This collaboration signifies a proactive step towards reducing the incidence of financial crimes in the lotteries sector and reinforces the overall integrity of financial operations in Mexico.

The agreement was signed by Olivia Salomón, General Director of the National Lottery, and Omar Reyes Colmenares, head of the Financial Intelligence Unit, at the UIF headquarters in Mexico City. As the agreement takes effect, both institutions plan to implement collaborative projects that will not only enhance institutional capacity but also educate stakeholders about illicit finance and promote a culture of transparency and compliance throughout the financial sector.
