New York, NY, November 25, 2008 — Edcomm Banker’s Academy introduces a free tutorial that provides Anti Money Laundering (AML) training for banks and financial institutions located in Spain. Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Spain offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financials institutions in this European country. Today, money laundering in Spain is an ongoing problem with the largest source of laundered funds in the country resulting from terrorist financing and organized crime.
In December 1993, specific measures to prevent money laundering were adopted to regulate the legal entities in the financial sector and individuals moving large sums of cash. The regulations for enactment were established by Royal Decree 925/1995, which set the standards for regulation of the financial system. The regulations were amended most recently in January 2005 by Royal Decree 54/2005. Pursuant to these laws and regulations, the financial sector is required to identify customers, keep records of transactions, and report suspicious financial transactions. Spanish banks are required by law to maintain fiscal information for five years and mercantile records for six years.
