Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s Centro de Integridade Pu\u0301blica(CIP) on Tuesday pointed to the alleged inability to investigate cases of money laundering as the main obstacles in Mozambique\u2019s efforts to get off the \u201cgrey list\u201d of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the competence of the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office, as the holder of the criminal action, to investigate the acts suspected of constituting money laundering crimes. However, this body has been experiencing difficulties in terms of instruction and investigation of this legal type of crime, mainly in technical terms,\u201d said the CIP, in a document<\/b> that assesses Mozambique\u2019s efforts to get off the \u201cgrey list\u201d of the FATF.<\/p>\n

Mozambique was placed on the FATF\u2019s \u201cgrey list\u201d in October 2022 after institutional weaknesses were detected in mechanisms to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.<\/p>\n

According to the non-governmental organisation, out of a total of 112 cases investigated between 2014 and 2023, only 42 cases had indictments, which corresponds to 37.5%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese figures show that there are deficiencies with regard to the [criminal procedure] instruction of registered money laundering cases, which is reflected in the low number of cases that end with indictment. It should also be noted that during the period analysed there were 36 cases that were abstained, the reasons for which are not mentioned\u201d, .the NGO said.<\/p>\n

While admitting the existence of legal reforms to take the country out of the \u201cgrey list\u201d, the NGO believes that there are still weaknesses in the application of laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the investigation and accountability component, the country will hardly get off the grey list in two years, which is the time the government has proposed to take the country off the list,\u201d reads the NGO\u2019s document.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting off the list is necessary to promote access to international financial markets, continue to attract foreign investment and participate in international trade,\u201d Julian Casal, the World Bank\u2019s financial sector specialist, said at the time.<\/p>\n
