Fincen Head to Depart Agency in May

WASHINGTON — After close to four years at the helm of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Director Jennifer Shasky Calvery announced Tuesday that she will leave the agency next month.

"Our leadership team has only begun to tap the potential of Fincen's dedicated staff and its deep pool of data and resources," Calvery said in a statement. "I hope that we have enhanced the agency's solid foundation so that Fincen can best perform its mission for years into the future."

Calvery added, "Fincen has so much to offer in the fight against terrorism, against international financial crime, and against drug trafficking and financial fraud here at home."

Fincen did not say why Calvery is leaving or where she plans to work next.
