The representative of the City of London Police, for instance, pointed out that constant difficulties arise in the cooperation between the various countries' judicial authorities because cases which constitute a criminal offence of money-laundering in the United Kingdom, for instance involving reciprocal financial transactions with other Member States, cannot necessarily be considered a money-laundering offence in those states, which leads to constant problems in terms of cooperation.
Repræsentanten for City of London Police gjorde f.eks. opmærksom på, at der til stadighed er vanskeligheder i forbindelse med samarbejdet mellem justitsmyndighederne landene imellem, fordi det, der i Storbritannien er en kriminel handling i forbindelse med hvidvaskning af penge, f.eks. ved gensidige pengetransaktioner med andre medlemslande, ikke nødvendigvis også kan indordnes under hvidvaskning af penge i disse lande, og at dette derfor konstant giver anledning til samarbejdsproblemer.
