Die Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht (BaFin) hat am 08.06.2021 mit der Veröffentlichung der Auslegungs-​ und Anwendungshinweise für Kreditinstitute die gesetzlichen Pflichten für Verpflichtete nach § 2 Absatz 1 Nummer 1 GwG konkretisiert und gleichzeitig auferlegt, dass die in Ziffer 1 der AuA beschriebene Mittelherkunft bei Bartransaktionen abzuklären ist und die damit einhergehenden Prüf- und Dokumentationspflichten bis zum 08.08.2021 anzuwenden sind.

With the Transparency Register and Financial Information Act (TraFinG), the German legislature transposes the applicable EU Directives (EU) 2015/839 (Money Laundering Directive) and (EU) 2019/1153 (Financial Information Directive) into German law. The conversion of the transparency register from a backup register to a full register and the EU-wide interconnection of registers are intended to enable a fast and simple communication between the member states and Europol. For this, the EU stipulates the use of structured data records in a uniform data format at country level.

Malta – the centre of criticism for years. As the first EU member state, the country has recently made it to the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) due to increased and persistent money laundering and terrorist financing risks. The "grey list" is a global list of countries under increased scrutiny for deficiencies in the implementation of FATF standards.

On June 8, 2021, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) concretised the legal obligations for obliged entities pursuant to Section 2 (1) No. 1 of the German Anti-Money Laundering Act (GwG) with the publication of the Interpretation and Application Guidelines (AuA) for credit institutions. As already outlined in the blog post by my colleague Uwe Weber, item 1 of the AuA BT (special section) imposed on credit institutions that the origin of funds in cash transactions must be clarified and the associated verification and documentation obligations must be applied by August 8, 2021.
