About this statute

This text is a royal order that brings the AML law into force for the Faroe Islands with a series of amendments and added rules. Certain covered businesses and persons must register with Finanstilsynet before they can carry on their activities. Section 36 amends anti-money-laundering rules, including higher-risk country measures, reporting duties, powers for authorities, and a requirement to freeze listed funds without delay. This section adds duties to correct inaccurate or misleading information, gives Finanstilsynet powers to set reporting rules and restrict new customer onboarding after serious breaches, and allows confidentiality and coercive-fine measures in certain AML cooperation contexts.
