Rahapesu ja terrorismi rahastamise tõkestamise seaduse ning teiste seaduste muutmise seadus (rahapesu andmebüroo valitsusasutuseks ümberkujundamine)

Stage avaldatud_riigiteatajasUpdated 16d ago

This Estonian bill amends the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act and related laws. Its main aim is to change the legal status of the Financial Intelligence Unit (Rahapesu andmebüroo), the body that receives and analyses reports of suspicious financial transactions, by converting it into a government agency. Based on the title alone, the bill's focus is institutional and structural rather than a broader change to anti-money laundering rules. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The change would most directly affect the Financial Intelligence Unit, its staff and its working relationships with the ministry and other authorities. Financial institutions and other obliged entities that report suspicious transactions could also be affected, depending on how reporting duties are reorganised in the final text.
