Guyana received a stark warning last month about missed deadlines and the need for a serious approach to addressing deficiencies in its anti-money laundering legislation, ahead of the ongoing 37th Plenary Meeting of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) where the country’s progress is being evaluated.
The warning was contained in a letter dated April 10, 2013 which the Ramotar administration kept secret until APNU exposed it. The letter rapped the government over missed deadlines and also lamented that despite a visit by the CFATF here on March 4, 2013, Georgetown was still unable to give an estimated timeframe on the required law amendments.
