Poland's Ministry of Finance reported that General Inspector of Financial Information Jarosław Żółtowski and Deputy Prosecutor General Jacek Bilewicz reviewed cooperation on anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing and preparations for the next MONEYVAL evaluation. The Sept. 2 meeting focused on Poland’s implementation of recommendations from MONEYVAL’s fifth evaluation round. The discussions covered proposed Criminal Code amendments to align the terrorist financing offense more closely with international requirements, as well as the collection of data and statistics for the future assessment. They also addressed prosecutors’ role in mutual legal assistance, financial investigations and asset recovery, and the need for feedback on criminal proceedings initiated from reports submitted by the General Inspector of Financial Information. Preparations for the next evaluation will continue through consultations, working meetings and conferences.
