Description

The Carabinieri Anti-counterfeiting Monetary Command was founded in 1992 and since then has been conducting investigations into a crime against false numbers, particularly active in Italy and becoming an even more dangerous threat following the introduction of the Euro and the consequent enlargement of the false currency market to new countries, some of which are candidates or aspire to join the EU and adopt the euro. In this capacity, therefore, as the National Competent Authority for the Carabinieri Corps for the identification and seizure of the false Euro currency (pursuant to the 1338 / 2001 Regulation of the EU Council) the Carabinieri Anti-Counterfeiting Monetary Command organizes with success, from many years - on behalf of the European Commission - initiatives for the protection of the Euro and to increase international cooperation in the specific sector, proving safe and appreciated reference for the homologous police organizations of the member countries of the European Union and third countries.
