Anti-money laundering rules to be tightened
The Cabinet Office insists changes will be brought about in the Island's finance sector, following strong criticism from international experts.
A new report from European MONEYVAL assessors identified concerns in the Island's approach to anti-money laundering (AML), criminal financing (CFT) and beneficial ownership information.
It identified a low conviction rate for financial crime, and a 'limited understanding' of global risk.
Evaluators did, however, praise the Island's 'advanced' legal and regulatory framework.
Government must now report back to MONEYVAL in 12 months' time.
Head of AML & CFT in the Island Karen Ramsay admits there's room for improvement:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
