FATF Report Urges Canada to Strengthen Prosecution of Complex Money Laundering Cases
A joint report by the Financial Action Task Force and Asia-Pacific Group on Money Laundering finds that Canada has improved its defenses against illicit finance by enhancing corporate transparency and beneficial ownership mechanisms. However, the report highlights the need for stronger investigation and prosecution of complex money laundering cases linked to drug trafficking, fraud, and tax crimes. It also notes uneven implementation of transparency measures across provinces and ongoing challenges in supervising high-risk non-financial sectors.
