The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) has announced the retirement of George Farrugia, one of its longest-serving employees, after 23 years of dedicated service.
Mr Farrugia, a financial analyst, joined the FIAU upon its establishment in 2002. At the time, the Unit consisted of only a handful of employees. Today, the FIAU has grown to a team of over 170 professionals working to combat financial crime and ensure compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations.
Throughout his tenure, Mr Farrugia has witnessed and contributed to key milestones in the FIAU’s evolution, including the strengthening of Malta’s regulatory framework and the Unit’s growing engagement with international bodies and stakeholders.
In a public statement, the FIAU expressed its gratitude for Mr Farrugia’s “unwavering commitment, professionalism, and the invaluable contributions he has made throughout his time with us.”
“His legacy will remain an important part of the FIAU’s history, and he will be deeply missed,” the statement continued.
Mr Farrugia will officially retire at the end of August.
