The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority has worked with Sweden’s coordination function against money laundering and terrorist financing, the Financial Police and the Swedish Security Service to produce a new brochure for money remitters on money laundering and terrorist financing. The guidance is intended to strengthen firms’ understanding of the rules and highlight situations that may indicate money remitters are being misused. The release notes that money remitters handle large volumes of cash and therefore face a significant risk of exposure to money laundering and terrorist financing. The coordination function is led by the Swedish Police Authority and brings together representatives from 16 authorities and the Swedish Bar Association.
