EU: Banker kan skrue ned for nidkær hvidvask-overvågning af den lokale håndboldklub

EU: Banker kan skrue ned for nidkær hvidvask-overvågning af den lokale håndboldklub. Hvidvaskreglerne indeholder ikke muligheder for at undtage særlige grupper af aktører. Derimod kan der skrues ned for overvågningen ved lav risiko – herunder fra driften af de mange foreninger i Danmark, som på den måde vil slippe for en masse administrativt besvær.

Det er budskaberne i en mail fra EU-kommissionen til Finanstilsynet, der får dette konkrete råd: ”The information you shared with us suggests that financial institutions are considering NPOs (foreninger, red.) in Denmark as higher risk, and applying enhanced due diligence on them as a result. One avenue that you may wish to consider is to increase supervisory engagement with the financial sector to improve their understanding of risks related to NPOs (and the different sub-sectors of NPOs operating in the country) and the granularity of their customer risk assessment – which from your message seems to be quite high-level and established at the level of the sector as a whole.”
