On 11 June, the Council of Europe published this 5th Round Mutual Evaluation Report which calls on authorities to improve the regulatory framework and to strengthen the practical application of measures to combat money laundering and financing of terrorism. However, it praises the overall framework and practical actions in place for international co-operation, which enables San Marino to provide generally timely and constructive mutual legal assistance, but finds that further improvements are needed in enhancing supervision, preventative measures related to transparency of legal persons and legal arrangements, money laundering investigation and prosecution and financial sanctions for terrorist financing. Interestingly, San Marino will be subject to MONEYVAL’s regular follow-up reporting process 9i.e. not the enhanced follow-up procedure) as a result of the positive report, thus becoming one of only 5 member-jurisdictions with this outcome so far.
