Media Release: EMBARGO: 2004 October 20, 00:01 GMT Subject: Veritas Centrum: bringing calm to a turbulent world. Kuala Lumpur and London: 20 October 2004. Starting tomorrow, 21 October 2004, The Anti Money Laundering Network will bring calm to a turbulent world of counter-money laundering and anti terrorist financing with an unparalleled range of specialist services for government agencies and multinational corporations including financial services conglomerates. Under the banner “Intelligent Intelligence,” the new service is called “Veritas Centrum,” and it is a division of Silkscreen Limited, the Anti Money Laundering Network’s consultancy company. “We’ve twisted Latin a bit to create the name Veritas Centrum. In our version it means “The Heart of Truth,” said Nigel Morris-Cotterill, who heads The Anti Money Laundering Network, an international group of companies that delivers high level strategic advice and other services to corporations and government departments on combating financial crime, especially money laundering. “Veritas Centrum is an intelligence led service that at its most basic will undertake due diligence assessments and examine systems in e.g. banks to ensure that they meet standards necessary to continue to operate correspondent bank accounts with banks in highly regulated countries, such as the USA and Europe,” says Morris-Cotterill. But that’s just the tip of the service, as a visit to the website at www.veritascentrum.com reveals. The Veritas Centrum operations team is made up of former UK Special Forces personnel – all, in fact, from the legendary Special Air Service or SAS. All have extensive experience in undercover work, surveillance, counter and anti-surveillance and tactical weapons as well as in more general military and law enforcement skills. Several have served periods of secondment in relation to organised crime investigations. “Our operations personnel are already delivering counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency training and tactical weapons training in several countries in South and South East Asia. We have already established a credible presence and identified both the need for the highly specialised services we offer and identified and are working with a number of governments in the region,” said Morris-Cotterill in Kuala Lumpur. “We have been approached by large companies who are concerned about staff being sent to hostile environments to prepare those staff for the hazards they will face, including situation awareness and evasive driving tuition.” But it’s not all action-man stuff. Veritas Centrum will undertake surveillance and protect against surveillance by third parties. It will produce situation reports in advance of a company sending personnel to a country and other intelligence material. With intelligence gathering and evidence gathering to support intellectual property claims and actions for the recovery of proceeds of crime (money laundering) plus identifying sources of funding for terrorism, Veritas Centrum will handle difficult situations with calm professionalism.
