Kyrgyzstan: President signs AML/CTF law
The State Service of Financial Intelligence under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic ('FIU') announced, on 18 August 2018, that the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sooronbay Jeenbekov, had signed a law on anti-money laundering and countering financing of terrorism ('AML/CTF') ('the Law'). The Law seeks, among other things, to create additional mechanisms for the counteraction of crime, including the search and return of funds withdrawn illegally or criminally from Kyrgyzstan, as well as offshore zones.
The Law will enter into force 15 days after the day of its official publication.
