About Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) Malta
The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) is Malta’s national central agency responsible for the collection, collation, processing, analysis and dissemination of information with a view to combating money laundering and the funding of terrorism. The FIAU also serves as Malta’s Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Funding of Terrorism (AML/CFT) supervisor for a wide range of subject persons, monitoring compliance with AML/CFT obligations and taking proportionate, effective and dissuasive measures where necessary. The Unit became operational on 1 October 2002 when it was established by virtue of Legal Notice 297 of 2002, which brought into force the comprehensive amendments to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act enacted by means of Act XXXI of 2001. Though set up as an agency within the Ministry responsible for finance, the Unit has separate judicial personality and operates autonomously from its own offices with its own staff.
