FATF First and Second Public Consultations

The FATF conducted a review of the 40+9 Recommendations to ensure that they remain up-to-date and relevant, and to benefit from lessons learnt from implementing and evaluating the current standards. Between October 2010 and January 2011, the FATF undertook a public consultation on the first phase of its review of the standards and between June and September 2011, the FATF undertook a second public consultation on a set of policy proposals concerning issues that were considered during the second phase of the review, such as: beneficial ownership; data protection and group-wide compliance programmes; wire transfers; targeted financial sanctions; and politically exposed persons.

FRAUD WARNING

Misuse of UNODC and IMoLIN's names for fraudulent purposes

Various types of scam emails or letters purporting to be from or associated with IMoLIN and/or UNODC have been circulating requesting fees for the transfer of money. In some cases the UN and UNODC logos as well as IMoLIN's name and logo are being used for fraudulent purposes. Criminals who fraudulently claim to be from UNODC, request victims to pay fees for fictitious services relating to the verification of the origin of funds and claim that the funds will be blocked if the customer fails to pay the fees. UNODC and IMoLIN do not have the ability to block any account or issue any certificates for anti-money laundering compliance and will never require any fees for such services, since none of these services are rendered.

If you receive any fraudulent emails or letters, we suggest that you report the matter to your local law enforcement authorities.
