Protection of Personal Data in the Context of Preventing and Combatting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing
Protection of Personal Data in the Context of Preventing and Combatting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing

Summary/Abstract: Public policy considerations underlying the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing may restrict individuals’ right to the protection of personal data, a relative fundamental right. However, it is important that authorities strike a balance between the rights of data subjects and limitations related to the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing1. The study aims to examine whether the relevant legislation and international treaties provide sufficient guarantees in relation to the transfer of personal data outside the state of which the data subject is a national or the state in whose territory the material acts of money laundering and terrorist financing offences have been perpetrated.
