The participation of third parties, including Union bodies, offices and agencies, might be instrumental to the successful outcome of FIUs’ analyses, including joint analyses. Therefore, FIUs can invite third parties to take part in the joint analysis where such participation would fall within the respective mandates of those third parties. Participation by third parties in the analytical process could help identify links between financial intelligence and criminal information and intelligence, enrich the analysis, and determine if there are indications that a criminal offence has been committed.
