MONEYVAL acknowledges Andorra’s progress in the fight against corruption
Andorra, December 4, 2024
The Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) has recognized the progress made by Andorra in the fight against corruption. This recognition was made public in the report published today by the Council of Europe, which evaluates the implementation of the 40 FATF Recommendations by the Principality.
The report highlights that Andorra has “made significant progress in strengthening its anti-corruption framework” and that “the authorities have taken a number of steps to improve the prevention, detection, and prosecution of corruption offenses.”
Among the positive aspects highlighted in the report are the adoption of a new anti-corruption law, the creation of a specialized anti-corruption unit, and the increase in the number of investigations and prosecutions of corruption cases.
The report also acknowledges the progress made by Andorra in improving its international cooperation in the fight against corruption. The Principality has signed a number of agreements with other countries to facilitate the exchange of information and the recovery of assets.
The MONEYVAL report concludes that Andorra “has made significant progress in the fight against corruption” and that “the authorities are committed to continuing to improve their efforts in this area.”
The Andorran government welcomes the recognition made by MONEYVAL and reiterates its commitment to continue working to strengthen the fight against corruption. The government considers that this recognition is a reflection of the efforts made in recent years to improve the Principality’s anti-corruption framework and to promote transparency and good governance.
