To provide aid in investigating a cross-border money laundering case, a Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) that is a member of the Egmont Group can:

FIUs do not have the authority to directly contact financial institutions in another country. Instead, they must work through established channels and protocols, typically communicating through other FIUs or law enforcement agencies to ensure compliance with international laws and regulations.

FIUs cannot deputize law enforcement officers from their own country to operate in another jurisdiction. Such actions would require formal agreements and legal frameworks between countries, which are beyond the typical operational capabilities of an FIU.

While FIUs can provide valuable information, they typically do not directly assist law enforcement agencies in other countries. Instead, they facilitate information sharing that allows law enforcement in their own country to act on intelligence received from foreign FIUs.
