Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing – Compliance with the Sanctions Act

Money laundering, terrorist financing and violations of sanctions legislation pose a major threat to the integrity of the financial sector. The AFM regards supervision of the prevention and combating of money laundering and terrorist financing as one of its core tasks, as well as supervision of compliance with sanctions legislation. Financial institutions play an important role in this regard in their capacity as gatekeepers.

We have included a dedicated theme page with more information on supervision and the role of gatekeepers in preventing money laundering, terrorist financing and ensuring compliance with sanctions legislation.
