On the night of April 19 to 20, the Committee on Justice, Legislation and Human Rights in the House of Representatives unanimously adopted a bill relating to the fight against money laundering . This is bill n°12.18 amending and supplementing the Penal Code and law n°43.05.

This new regulation is part of Morocco's efforts to strengthen the national judicial system in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. A plenary session is scheduled for Tuesday in the House of Representatives devoted to the vote of ready-made legislative texts, including that relating to money laundering.
According to the presentation of the Minister of Justice Mohamed Benabdelkader, the text also aims to adapt this system to the international standards adopted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in this area, and to remedy the shortcomings contained in the current texts, in particular those identified in the mutual evaluation report.
