Les mesures prises par l'Italie pour lutter contre le blanchiment des capitaux et le financement du terrorisme

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) conducted an Mutual Evaluation Report Italy - 2016

Italy has a strong legal and institutional framework to fight ML and TF. Authorities have a good understanding of the money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) risks the country faces. There is generally good policy cooperation, coordination, and financial intelligence gathering and use. The authorities are able to successfully undertake large and complex money laundering and terrorist financing investigations and prosecutions, and beneficial ownership information is generally accessible to authorities.

There are areas where improvements are needed. Italy should enhance its ML investigative and prosecutorial action on risks associated with self-laundering, standalone money laundering, and foreign predicate offenses, and the abuse of legal persons. Italy should enhance the accessibility of relevant information and dissemination of analysis by its FIU, strengthen sanctions, and improve financial sectors’ and DNFBPs’ understanding and implementation of requirements for beneficial ownership identification.   

This report was adopted by the FATF at its Plenary meeting in October 2015.
