The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has completed an assessment of the implementation of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing standards in Turkey. Among its major findings were:

• The number of convictions for money laundering in Turkey is relatively low, and the new legislation has not yet been in place long enough to fully demonstrate its effectiveness.
• Confiscation measures, although complete, have also not yet produced substantial results.
• The Turkish FIU is responsible for the receipt, analysis and dissemination of STR information for investigation by law enforcement. The number of STRs received, however, is relatively low.
• Preventive measures contained in Turkish law and regulations require financial institutions to undertake customer identification and certain other measures; however, customer due diligence measures need to be significantly reinforced in order to fully meet the FATF standards.
• Turkey needs to put comprehensive AML/CFT obligations into place for DNFBPs in order to comply with the FATF standards.
• Turkey has a sufficient framework for providing international co-operation and is able to do so broadly, although certain limitations in the coverage of the money laundering and terrorist financing offences could provide a technical limitation to such assistance.
