Guyana is working on updating its Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework, with heavy emphasis being placed on the forfeiture of assets.
Attorney General (AG) and Legal Affairs Minister Anil Nandlall on Thursday revealed that the new AML/CFT Bill, which will replace the existing 17-year-old legislation, is in its final stage.
“I’m hoping to take to parliament before the end of this year, and the new emphasis in investigating and prosecuting money laundering and countering the financial type of terrorism offences is on forfeiture of assets, detention of assets [and] freezing orders,” the Minister stated.
