Amendments to law on countering legalisation of proceeds from crime and financing of terrorism

December 30, 2015

Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On Amendments to the Federal Law on Countering Legalisation (Laundering) of Proceeds from Crime and Financing of Terrorism.

In particular, the Federal Law introduces the concept of a “non-corporate foreign entity” so as to make it subject to the Federal Law On Countering Legalisation (Laundering) of Proceeds from Crime and Financing of Terrorism.

This concept includes an organisational form created in accordance with foreign legislation without forming a legal entity (in particular, a foundation, partnership, association, trust, or other form of collective investment or trust management) that has the right to carry out activities aimed at generating income in the interests of its participants or other beneficiaries in accordance with its personal law.
