L'île Maurice sur la liste noire de l'UE pour blanchiment d'argent et financement du terrorisme

What they do not seem to understand is that having the legislation in place is not enough?; we have to ensure the effectiveness of the legal framework and institutions in delivering the desired outcomes. Our anti money laundering legislation has flashing sharp teeth, but they do not really bite in terms of immediate and effective responses to addressing financial crime.
Mauritius has not made positive and tangible progress on several effectiveness issues, including the lack of effective risk based supervision, the lack of improvement in access to beneficial ownership information, the lack of capability to conduct money laundering investigations, including parallel investigations, the lack of control and oversight over non-profit organizations on terrorism financing, and the lack of implementation of targeted financial sanctions related to terrorism and proliferation financing. There is also an urgent need for a complete review and overhaul of ICAC and other law enforcement agencies to boost the country’s effectiveness in tackling drug and financial crime.
