I vaguely recall something about FIUs, but I can't remember if they specifically relate to MLATs. Option B seems a bit off to me.

Hmm, the MLAT seems to be a key tool for international cooperation on AML/CFT, but I'm not 100% sure I fully grasp how it works in practice. Maybe I should quickly review my notes before submitting my answer.

I've got this! The MLAT is all about providing a legal basis for transmitting evidence that can be used in judicial proceedings across borders. That's the core purpose, so I'm going with option A.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Is the MLAT specifically about receiving suspicious transaction reports and sharing them with law enforcement? Or is it more broadly about facilitating the exchange of evidence and intelligence? I need to make sure I understand the core function before selecting an answer.
