According to the results obtained over this period, “850 files were shared with the General Directorate of Taxes, the Economic and Financial Brigade, the Criminal Brigade and the National Center for Digital Investigations (Cnin)”. The president of Centif also indicated that in 2024 in particular, the relationships shared with the General Directorate of Taxes made it possible to make tax adjustments and to recover nearly 4.9 billion FCFA from unscrupulous taxpayers. Likewise, he detailed the three main phases that have marked the actions of his structure over the last 19 years. According to him, “the first mandates trained, raised awareness and educated in order to raise awareness of the phenomenon of money laundering. The second phase made it possible to set up the tools and above all to ensure the compliance of the Beninese financial center with international standards. The third phase that is continuing is that of strengthening the efficiency and modernising Centif”.
