Italy's measures to counter money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing

23 April 2026 - The FATF mutual evaluation of Italy assessed the effectiveness of the country's anti-money laundering, countering terrorist financing and proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF) measures, and their level of compliance with the FATF Recommendations, at the time of an on-site visit between June and July 2025.

\r\n

The assessment found that Italy has a whole-of-government approach to combating illicit finance, with sophisticated coordination to ensure that operational agencies share information and resources and are able to conduct investigations jointly, particularly for complex money laundering cases involving serious organised crime. However, Italy should address limitations to access to information about who owns assets (Beneficial Ownership).
