“We strongly believe that, in addition to illegal persecution, these searches are an attempt by the authorities to obtain information about the Anti-Corruption Action Centre’s activities,” said the AntAC.
“The risk of money laundering through cryptoassets has increased significantly since 2020 with cryptoassets increasingly appearing in money laundering intelligence over this period.
Cryptoassets are increasingly used for laundering all forms of proceeds of crime,” states the country’s newly-published money laundering risk assessment.
One of its particular focuses is on trying to think of a better way of identifying money laundering than the current workhorse: the Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
