Was es in der EU, Deutschland den Geldwäsche Paradiesen nicht gibt, fordert man von Albanien, wobei es den peinlichen Schwachsinn von „Hinter Tür“ Justiz“, Weisungs gebundener Justiz nur in Deutschland gibt, wie der „GRECO“ Bericht der EU festhält. Und diese Ratten sollen ja Justiz bringen, was es nicht einmal in Deutschland gibt.
Was für ein Skandal, denn auch Angela Merkel, fastelte in ihrer Hirnlosen Regierungs Tätigkeit, etwas von den „entscheidenden Fortschritte“, denn korrupte Gestalten, ohne Studium und richtigen Berufs, sind leicht käuflich. 20 Jahre dumme Berichte schrieben, für ein Land, wo nie ein Gesetz implementiert wurde, aber Milliarden für korrupte Projekte, Reise Spesen und dumme andere Ideen verpulvert werden durch die totale Inkompetenz. Idioten, werden als Experten verkauft, denn solche Berichte gab es in 2003 schon auch vom FBI an den Kongreß, aber es wurde dann immer schlimmer, mit den EU und Berliner Korruptis.
EG Commission Bericht: Geldwäsche, über Immobilien und Glücksspiel sind wichtiger Wirtschafts Zweig, zusammen mit Kriminellen. Das dient ebenso der Terrorismus Finanzierung. Ein EU Bericht, zeigt im Vergleich zu 2000-2002, Abgründe des „failed state“, aber für Bestechungsgeld der korrupten EU Vertreter, der Botschafterin von Knut Fleckenstein, kaufte man erneut „entscheidende Fortschritte“ in jedem Bericht seit Jahren.
In a report
published today, the Council of Europe anti money laundering body
MONEYVAL calls on the Albanian authorities to step up their efforts in
pursuing launderers and confiscating their assets connected to
significant proceeds-generating offences, and tackling terrorist
financing related risks.
The report makes comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of
Albania’s anti money laundering and counter terrorist financing
(AML/CFT) system and its level of compliance with the FATF
Recommendations. Based on the results of its evaluation, MONEYVAL
decided to apply its enhanced follow-up procedure to Albania.
MONEYVAL acknowledges that the Albanian authorities have a reasonably
good understanding of the country’s money laundering risks in the
formal economy and have national coordination mechanisms for
policy-making to address risks. However, these mechanisms have not
proven to be fully effective and there are some areas that would benefit
from a more detailed analysis of the threats posed.
Corruption poses major money laundering risks in Albania. Often
linked to organised crime activities, it generates substantial amounts
of criminal proceeds and seriously undermines the effective functioning
of the criminal justice system. The authorities are aware of the risks
from corruption but so far law enforcement has given limited attention
to target corruption-related money laundering. A significant judicial
reform is currently being implemented to better address the corruption
risks prevalent in the country.
The competent authorities systematically use the General Directorate
for the Prevention of Money Laundering reports and a wide range of other
sources of information to initiate and facilitate investigations of
money laundering, associated predicate offences and terrorist financing.
Parallel investigations are systematically applied in money laundering
cases and in other criminal proceedings. However, these investigations
rarely result in indictments and money laundering proceedings connected
to significant proceeds-generating offences are mostly suspended or
dismissed by the prosecution.
The report underlines that Albania has a robust legal framework for
confiscation of criminal proceeds but the number and values of seized
and confiscated assets do not seem to be commensurate to the level of
the criminality in the country.
With regard to terrorist financing, MONEYVAL notes that the
perception and understanding of the related risks do not seem to
adequately address the characteristics of potential terrorist financing
activities in the country and the region. There is no systematic
approach to identify and investigate financing aspects of
terrorism-related offences. In relation to the implementation of
targeted financial sanctions there are some technical deficiencies,
which may hamper effectiveness of Albania’s compliance.
The report highlights that the Bank of Albania has a good
understanding of money laundering and terrorist financing risks and has
recently enhanced its offsite reporting system to support its assessment
of risks of individual entities. The Financial Supervisory Authority is
in the process of transitioning to a risk-based approach in supervision
but its inspection activity undertaken so far has been very limited.
Although some important efforts are made, neither the Bank of Albania
nor the Financial Supervisory Authority consistently apply a risk-based
perspective when reviewing applications for licenses by financial
institutions, or take a systematic approach to monitor them in order to
fully mitigate the risk of criminal infiltration.
Finally, the report notes that Albania has reportedly provided mutual
legal assistance with an appropriate level of cooperation. However, the
general legal mechanism for executing foreign mutual legal assistance
requests has some deficiencies which may undermine their effectiveness.
The Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money
Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) is a
monitoring body of the Council of Europe entrusted with the task of
assessing compliance with the principal international standards to
counter money laundering and the financing of terrorism and the
effectiveness of their implementation, as well as with the task of
making recommendations to national authorities in respect of necessary
improvements to their systems.The evaluation of Albania´s anti-money laundering and combating
financing of terrorism system was based on the 2012 Financial Action
Task Force Recommendations, and was prepared using the 2013 Methodology.Fifth round Mutual Evaluation Report on AlbaniaSummary of Fifth round Mutual Evaluation Report on Albania
