At a press briefing earlier this month, Liechtenstein's Minister of Justice Heinz Frommelt gave details of a package of measures the Government is proposing to take to strengthen its defences against money laundering, and published some draft laws for consultation.
Although the Minister was at pains to point out that the measures had been planned well before allegations of widespread money-laundering activity were raised recently by the German Intelligence Agency, there is no doubt that, with the OECD's black-list in the offing, the Liechtenstein Government feels itself under strong pressure to be seen to be taking a meaningful initiative against criminal activity.
