FIU

The FIU's functions as an administrative buffer between the reporting entities on the one hand and the law enforcement on the other hand. The FIU is established because of the necessity of having an entity that, with its analysis, gives added value to the (financial) transactions of the service providers in order to determine whether there is a suspicion of money laundering of terrorism financing. When that suspicion is confirmed, the suspicious transactions are forwarded to the Public Prosecutor's Office... The Financial Intelligence Unit Sint Maarten or FIU Sint Maarten plays an important role in preventing international money laundering and terrorism financing.
