Slovenia: COE approved anti-money laundering measureas

(ANSA) - STRASBOURG, FEB 18 - Slovenia has implemented all the technical measures necessary to counter the use of bank transfers for money laundering and terrorist financing. This is what was established by Moneyval, the permanent monitoring body of the Council of Europe, in its latest report on the country. In particular, Slovenia has solved one of the major non-compliances detected by Moneyval in 2017, ie the absence of information on beneficiaries of money-transfer operations. Moneyval has thus decided to change the rating of Slovenia from 'partially fulfilling' to 'totally fulfilling'. The monitoring body has also decided to include Slovenia in its enhanced follow-up procedures and the country will have to present a new report on the progress made in December 2019. (ANSA)
