About this statute

This preamble says the law implements parts of several EU anti-money-laundering and related rules, and lists the types of businesses and persons the law applies to. Section 114 requires covered businesses and persons to do anti-money-laundering risk controls and customer due diligence, and it bans certain cash handling above specified limits. Section 26 requires covered businesses and persons to do enhanced AML checks, limit personal-data use, report certain discrepancies, and follow rules on correspondent relationships and outsourcing. Section 30 sets reporting, freeze, retention, confidentiality, and cross-border compliance rules for covered businesses and persons, with exceptions for some legal and audit activities. Virksomheder og visse personer må ikke gengælde mod ansatte eller tidligere ansatte for indberetninger om hvidvask, terrorfinansiering eller andre lovovertrædelser, og ledelsen skal rapportere advarsler uden unødigt ophold.
