Presented on Wednesday 6 May by the minister for justice, Elisabeth Margue (CSV), the portal amlcft.public.lu aims to become the one-stop shop for a topic that has become critical for the financial sector. The tool brings together legislation, FATF standards, risk assessments and guidelines on a single platform.

This platform forms part of the national strategy to combat money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) and is set to evolve further. The government is already presenting it as a “central reference tool” designed to structure communication and training on an issue that is becoming increasingly pressing. In an environment where compliance is constantly evolving, the government is prioritising clarity. The site promises “centralised” and accessible information, including for the general public, with an educational section written in plain language.

A way of bringing the fight against money laundering out of the realm of specialists. Beyond professionals and the authorities, non-profit organisations are also in the spotlight. The portal aims to support them in addressing the risks of exploitation for the purposes of terrorist financing, which are often underestimated.
