Belgian Legal Policy on Money Laundering

Abstract

Growing international pressure in the form of agreements, directives and recommendations has prompted new legislation for the prevention of money laundering in Belgium. This paper considers the various international initiatives and looks at how Belgium has responded. In particular, it discusses the act of 17th July, 1990, and the role of the banking sector.
