The Attorney General‘s (AG’s) Chambers yesterday said that the lack of resources cited by a CFATF team referred only to the Treaty Office in the Ministry of Home Affairs and not the general money laundering fight.
In a statement, the AG’s Chambers was referring to a report in yesterday’s Stabroek News headlined `CFATF assessment finds unified approach, resources to tackle money laundering lacking in Guyana’.
The statement noted that the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) on September 15, 2023 concluded its two-week on-site assessment of Guyana’s Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism/Countering Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF) framework as part of the country’s international compliance obligations under the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) Standards and Methodology.
