Core Issues to be considered in determining if the IO is being achieved:

CI 7.1: How well and in what circumstances are potential cases of ML identified and investigated (including through parallel financial investigations)?

CI 7.2: To what extent are the types of ML activity being investigated and prosecuted consistent with the country’s threats and risk profile and national AML/CFT policies?

CI 7.3: To what extent are different types of ML cases prosecuted (e.g., foreign predicate offence, third-party laundering, stand-alone offence, etc.) and offenders convicted?

CI 7.4: To what extent does the country ensure that respective financial institutions, DNFBPs and other sectors affected by the application of the FATF Standards are aware of the relevant results of the national ML/TF risk assessment(s)?

CI 7.5: To what extent are the sanctions applied against natural or legal persons convicted of ML offences effective, proportionate and dissuasive?

CI 7.6: To what extent do countries apply other criminal justice measures in cases where a ML investigation has been pursued but where it is not possible, for justifiable reasons, to secure a ML conviction? Such alternative measures should not diminish the importance of, or be a substitute for, prosecutions and convictions for ML offences.
