2017 — Inspection of the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing in Curaçao

This report focuses on the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism on the island. The report examines the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing in the justice sector and assesses the extent to which the objectives have been achieved. The Council concludes that staff shortages and a lack of financial investigators limit the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing in Curaçao. Although the Ministry claims that this control is a priority, there is no documented policy and many stakeholders believe that it is not a priority. The Curaçao Police Force also faces financial limitations, but the necessary technical resources are available within the judicial chain.
