1. Obliged entities, and, where applicable, their directors and employees, shall cooperate fully with the FIU by promptly:
|
(a)
|
reporting to the FIU, on their own initiative, where the obliged entity knows, suspects or has reasonable grounds to suspect that funds or activities, regardless of the amount involved, are the proceeds of criminal activity or are related to terrorist financing or criminal activity and by responding to requests by the FIU for additional information in such cases;
|
|
(b)
|
providing the FIU, at its request, with all necessary information, including information on transaction records, within the deadlines imposed.
|
All suspicious transactions, including attempted transactions and suspicions arising from the inability to conduct customer due diligence shall be reported in accordance with the first subparagraph.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, obliged entities shall reply to requests for information by the FIU within 5 working days. In justified and urgent cases, FIUs may shorten that deadline, including to less than 24 hours.
By way of derogation from the third subparagraph, the FIU may extend the deadline for a response beyond the 5 working days where it considers it justified and provided that the extension does not undermine the FIU’s analysis.
