The Portuguese Bar Association, in addition to being a regular member of the National Coordination Committee for Anti-Money Laundering Policies of the Bank of Portugal, was recently appointed by the Office of Studies and International Relations of the Ministry of Finance to the group of experts representing the non-financial sector, in the context of the transposition of the new European Anti-Money Laundering Package.
Thus, alongside the representatives from IMPIC, I.P., and SRIJ of Turismo de Portugal, I.P., the Portuguese Bar Association will represent professional associations as part of the aforementioned group of experts on PML/FT (EGMLTF) for the ongoing transposition work, with contributions from Dr. Mário Diogo, a lawyer from Coimbra.
