FATF Webinar Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing through the Arts and Antiquities Market

The 2023 FATF Report on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in the Art and Antiquities Market shows how the trade in high value works of art and antiquities can attract criminals who seek to exploit the sector’s history of privacy and the use of third-party intermediaries to launder the proceeds from drug trafficking, corruption and other crimes. The report also explores how terrorist groups can use cultural objects from areas where they are active to finance their operations.
On 5 July (16:00-17:00 CEST), the FATF will bring together public sector and civil society representatives in a virtual panel to discuss what governments, banks and art market participants can do to prevent misuse of the arts and antiquities sector for illicit financing.
