As part of a coordinated response to the increase in COVID-19-related crimes, including fraud, cybercrime, misdirection or exploitation of government funds or international financial assistance, which is creating new sources of proceeds for illicit actors, the FATF issued a paper on COVID-19-related Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks and Policy Responses. Based on information provided to the members of the FATF Global Network on 7 and 23 April, this paper identifies challenges, good practices and policy responses to new money laundering and terrorist financing threats and vulnerabilities arising from the COVID-19 crisis.

MONEYVAL wishes to draw the attention of its members and the private sector to the identified risks.
