| Cyprus Ratifies Anti Money Laundering/Terrorist Financing Convention |
by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
Thursday, April 02, 2009
On March 27, Cyprus ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Money Laundering,
Search, Seizure and Confiscation of the Proceeds from Crime and on the Financing
of Terrorism (CETS No. 198).
The convention opened for signature to the member states of the Council of
Europe, the non-member states which have participated in its elaboration, and
the European Community, in Warsaw, on May 16, 2005. It entered into force on
May 1, 2008.
The latest convention replaces the Council of Europe’s 1990 convention,
providing legislation to take into account the fact that not only could terrorism
be financed through money laundering from criminal activity, but also
through legitimate activities.
The new convention is the first international treaty covering both the prevention
and the control of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The text
addresses the fact that quick access to financial information or information
on assets held by criminal organisations, including terrorist groups, is the
key to combating them. The convention includes a mechanism to ensure the proper
implementation of its provisions by participants.
