On Thursday, October 24, the results of Argentina's performance in the fight against money laundering and terrorism will be revealed. A delegation from the country will travel to Paris to learn about the report of the review process covering the government of Alberto Fernández and the first three months of the libertarian administration. Based on this, it will be determined whether Argentina becomes part of the 'gray list,' shared with Venezuela and Haiti, consisting of countries that are actively working with the organization to overcome strategic deficiencies within the established deadlines.
Led by Justice Minister Mariano Cáneo Libarona, the delegation will include Justice Secretary Sebastián Amerio and the head of the Financial Information Unit (UIF), Ignacio Yacobucci, among others. In addition, the Supreme Court has appointed Juan Tomás Rodríguez Ponte, executive director of the Directorate of Judicial Assistance in Complex Crimes and Organized Crime, to participate in the plenary session that will be held from October 21 to 25 in Paris.
The review process of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) began last September and has included the presence of representatives of the organization in Argentina, who have held meetings with the three branches of government and the private sector to assess the country's performance in the fight against money laundering and terrorism. The Supreme Court highlights the commitment shown during the evaluation and its fundamental contribution to this process.
After a thorough evaluation process, this week the FATF will present the Mutual Evaluation Report of Argentina in Paris.
