S. Africa Lawmakers Pass Changes to Anti-Money Laundering Bill

(Bloomberg) -- Changes to Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment Bill clarify behavior of inspectors conducting warrantless searches of financial institutions, Yunus Carrim, chairman of Parliament’s finance committee, tells lawmakers in Cape Town.
  • “The issue of warrantless searches is not unconstitutional. We also conducted 10 hours of public hearings on the issue”
  • President Jacob Zuma “now has the choice of either signing it into law or going to the Constitutional Court if he is unhappy with it”
  • NOTE: Zuma returned the draft law to Parliament in November Link
