Creating a new stand-alone Financial Intelligence Unit will strengthen the Island's defences against criminal activity and protect our reputation.
That's the message from the Department of Home Affairs - it will tackle corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism:
The unit had previously been part of the police Financial Crime Unit - it will now liaise with law enforcement agencies and respond to international requests for help with criminal investigations.
Minister Juan Watterson says the staff for it are already in place:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
