Dominica’s Financial Intelligence Unit Reports Suspicious Activity
The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of Dominica has been actively monitoring suspicious activity in the country, serving as the national agency responsible for receiving and analyzing information related to suspected proceeds of crime, transactions, and activities linked to money laundering, terrorism financing, or other criminal activities.
Establishment and Powers
Established by law in 2000, the FIU is empowered to request and receive information from various sources, including financial institutions, businesses, and individuals. Its powers and functions are outlined in the Financial Intelligence Unit Act of 2011, which also grants it investigative authority for purposes related to terrorism prevention and suppression.
History and Membership
The FIU has been operational since July 2001, initially as a unit within the Ministry of Finance before being transferred to the Ministry of Justice, Immigration and National Security in 2015. The agency has maintained membership with the Egmont Group, an international standard-setting body for financial intelligence units.
Recent Activity
In recent months, the FIU has received reports of suspicious activity in Dominica’s financial sector, prompting swift investigation and action by authorities. While details of these investigations remain confidential, sources indicate that the agency is working closely with law enforcement agencies to prevent and detect criminal activities.
