Riyadh: The Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) launched a legal training program on countering terrorist financing at its headquarters today, in cooperation with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre, in the presence of IMCTC Secretary-General Major General Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Moghedi and representatives of member states, with the participation of 25 trainees from Palestine and Chad.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the program, held from July 19 to 23, aims to develop the legal, institutional, and operational capacities of personnel in law enforcement agencies, financial intelligence units, public prosecution offices, and relevant authorities to detect, investigate, and prosecute terrorist financing crimes in line with international obligations, including UN Security Council resolutions and Financial Action Task Force recommendations.

The program also supports international cooperation mechanisms, including mutual legal assistance, extradition, joint investigations, and information exchange, and is part of IMCTC's strategic initiatives to build member states' capacities across its four pillars: ideological, media, counter-terrorist financing, and military.
