AML V and virtual asset service providers

Directive 2018/843 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 (“AMLDV”) is currently being implemented under Luxembourg law by way of two bills of law (n°7467 and n°7512 – together the “Bills of Law”). The Bills of Law amend the law of 12 November 2004 on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, as amended (the “2004 Law”), by notably extending its scope of application to include virtual asset service providers (“VASPs”).
