The FATF plenary meeting took place in Paris on 21-23 June 2023 with delegates from over 200 jurisdictions.
The topics discussed during the meeting:
– Luksemburgai kā reģionālam un starptautiskam finanšu centram ir augsts tehniskās atbilstības FATF ieteikumiem līmenis, un tās NILLTPFN režīms uzrāda labus rezultātus.
– Luksemburga skaidri saprot savu NIL/TF risku.
– Valsts ir panākusi stabilu iekšzemes sadarbību un koordināciju finanšu izlūkošanas informācijas izmantošanā, piekļuvē faktisko īpašnieku informācijai un sadarbībā ar starptautiskajiem partneriem.
Still, there are areas for further improvement in detection, investigation and prosecution of more complex money laundering cases, risk-based supervision of non-financial sector, developing its understanding of terrorist financing and application of proportionate sanctions for non-compliance with them in financial and non-financial sectors.The FATF is to publish the report in September after FATF’s quality review.
1. Additions to the FATF grey-list:
– Kamerūna
– Horvātija

2. The black-list remains unchanged.
Global implementation of the virtual asset standards is considered poor. Almost ¾ of jurisdictions are partially compliant or non-compliant with the standards. Many jurisdictions have not implemented fundamental requirements, and more than half have not implemented the Travel Rule. Lack of regulation creates loopholes for criminals.
The FATF aims to provide a new suite of tools which countries should use to effectively freeze, seize, and confiscate criminal property, both domestically and through international cooperation.
The Plenary adopted an internal tool to combat corruption. The FATF members discussed the progress performed on the misuse of citizenship and residency by investment schemes.
The FATF is working on potential revisions to the Recommendation 8 aiming to protect NPOs from abuse for terrorist financing without disrupting or discouraging legitimate NPO activities.
