Undersecretary for Enforcement Gurule to raise terrorist financing issues

Treasury Undersecretary for Enforcement Jimmy Gurule will travel to Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Denmark and Sweden October 20-25, 2002.
Gurule is traveling to engage high-level European officials - in the banking, finance and law enforcement communities - on matters relating to the fight against terrorist finance.

As Under Secretary for Enforcement, Mr. Gurule provides oversight, policy guidance, and support to the Treasury law enforcement components: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; the U.S. Customs Service; the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center; the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network; the U.S. Secret Service; the Executive Office for Asset Forefeiture; and the Office of Foreign Assets Control. 

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Gurule has made fighting the financial war on terrorism the top priority among Treasury’s law enforcement assets.
