(9)In October 2022, Mozambique made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and the Eastern and Southern Africa AML Group (ESAAMLG) to strengthen the effectiveness of its AML/CFT regime. Since the adoption of its MER in April 2021, Mozambique has made progress on some of the MER’s recommended actions to improve its system including by finalising its National Risk Assessment and strengthening its asset confiscation efforts. Mozambique will work to implement its FATF action plan by: (1) ensuring cooperation and coordination amongst relevant authorities to implement risk-based AML/CFT strategies and policies; (2) conducting training for all Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs) on mutual legal assistance to enhance the gathering of evidence or seizure/confiscation of proceeds of crime; (3) providing adequate financial and human resources to supervisors, developing and implementing a risk-based supervision plan; (4) providing adequate resources to the authorities to commence the collection of adequate, accurate and up-to-date beneficial ownership information of legal persons; (5) increasing the human resources of the FIU as well as increasing financial intelligence sent to authorities; (6) demonstrating LEAs’ capability to effectively investigate ML/TF cases using financial intelligence; (7) conducting a comprehensive TF Risk Assessment and beginning to implement a comprehensive national CFT strategy; (8) increasing awareness on TF and Proliferation Financing-related Targeted Financial Sanctions; and (9) carrying out the TF risk assessment for Non-Profit Organizations in line with the FATF Standards and using it as a basis to develop an outreach plan. Despite that commitment and progress, the concerns that led to the listing of Mozambique by the FATF have not yet been fully addressed. Mozambique should therefore be considered as a country that has strategic deficiencies in its AML/CFT regime under Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2015/849.
