New Zealand to Extend Anti-Money Laundering Rules

(Bloomberg) -- The Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Amendment Bill introduced to parliament Monday, Justice Minister Amy Adams says in emailed statement.
  • Bill extends the existing law to lawyers, conveyancers, accountants, real estate agents, and sports and racing betting
  • Businesses that deal in certain high value goods, including motor vehicles, jewelery and art, will also have obligations when they accept or make large cash transactions
  • Estimated that the reforms in this Bill could disrupt as much as NZ$1.7b in fraud and drug crime over the next 10 years, and prevent as much as NZ$5b in broader criminal activity
