Official Financial Intelligence for "dirty" money. How will it work?

The Financial Intelligence Agency will now be the institution that will undertake the prevention of money laundering and the products originating from criminal offenses, as well as the prevention of the financing of terrorism, cooperating with the competent national and international institutions and bodies for this purpose.

The decision approved by the Council of Ministers that paves the way for the restructuring of the General Directorate of Prevention of Money Laundering has been published in the Official Gazette and has officially entered into force.

This agency will function as a national center tasked with collecting, analyzing and disseminating to law enforcement agencies data on potential money laundering and terrorist financing activities.

One of its functions will be the exchange of information with the prosecutions of the general jurisdiction, the Special Prosecutor's Office, the State Police, the National Bureau of Investigation, the State Information Service and other competent law enforcement or intelligence authorities on matters of laundering of proceeds of crime, criminal offenses or criminal activities that generate proceeds of crime and financing of terrorism.

The interaction and cooperation of all actors made Albania leave the money laundering gray list". The fight against economic crime was considered a government priority during the annual meeting of the Coordinating Committee for the fight against money laundering, held in December of last year.

Meanwhile, in June 2023, Moneyval, the mechanism of the Council of Europe that assesses the risk of money laundering, gave Albania a positive rating for the measures it has taken in fulfilling its commitments in this regard. In the report published by the Council of Europe, the fulfillment of the two main recommendations, 25 and 28 given by the Financial Action Task Force of Moneyval, related to transparency and beneficial ownership as well as the supervision of certain non-financial businesses and professions was evidenced.
