"The extent of collaboration and advice provided by the National Center for State Courts to the FIU on live cases is tremendous. Knowledge in confiscation, cash seizure, and money laundering is dynamic, and ever-changing, therefore keeping abreast of new trends, procedures, “know-how” and legislative changes are of paramount importance. the National Center for State Courts has readily supported the FIU in this regard, and I am pleased to inform that the knowledge provided has allowed the FIU to be successful in its cash seizure and money laundering efforts."

"I am confident that there is a network of information and experience on which I can draw whenever I need to do so. For example, Ms Nicola Suter has been a golden resource to me over the last seven years. In particular, when I was a high court judge of the Eastern Caribbean

Supreme Court, and assigned to St Vincent and the Grenadines, she provided timely advice on proceeds of crime legislation as well as the civil recovery process."
