AML report bashes Malta’s rules
The Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism, also known as Moneyval, has released its evaluation of the anti-money laundering regime in Malta. The monitoring body of the Council of Europe gave Malta a poor grade in a draft evaluation. The local government says it will implement changes before the final score.
Moneyval assessed compliance in Malta with the international standards to fight money laundering and the effectiveness of rules implementation. The report highlighted Malta’s risks when it comes to large banking and online gambling sectors.
The monitoring body indicated that local police rarely took advantage of information to trace criminal money. It said that Malta wasn’t doing enough to fight money laundering risks in online gambling.
