2022 — Combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism in St. Maarten.

This report investigates the effectiveness of the judicial approach to combating money laundering and terrorism financing in St. Maarten. The findings reveal significant deficiencies in resources, capacity, and inter-agency cooperation, which undermine the fight against these crimes. Despite some progress, the absence of a comprehensive national policy and the lack of compliance with international recommendations continue to hinder efforts. The report emphasizes the need for enhanced resources, better training, and stronger coordination among the relevant agencies to improve the effectiveness of measures against money laundering and terrorism financing.
