Tengrinews.kz – Mobile operators and the state corporation "Government for Citizens", along with banks and other financial organizations in Kazakhstan, will become subjects of financial monitoring. This will oblige them to share information with law enforcement agencies.
Today, the Mazhilis is considering a draft law regulating anti-money laundering measures. According to the document, mobile operators will provide information on mobile balance top-ups to the Agency for Financial Monitoring (AFM).
“The ‘Government for Citizens’ will report on real estate transactions exceeding 50 million tenge, similar to notary transaction reporting,” said AFM Deputy Chairman Zhenis Elemesov.
He noted that such measures will contribute to “more effective detection and prevention of suspicious transactions”.
At the same time, Elemesov did not specify what amounts of mobile balance top-ups might draw the attention of law enforcement.
The draft law also introduces a mandatory requirement for banks and financial organizations to report suspicious client operations, such as money transfers between accounts, to the AFM.
