The Vatican's Financial Information
Authority (AIF) said in its annual report on Friday that it
received 64 suspicious activity reports (SARs) in 2019.
It said 55 of these came from supervised entities, four from
Holy See/Vatican City State authorities and five from other
subjects .
It said it enacted 4 preventive measures, including the freezing
of a bank account.
It said it forwarded 15 reports to the Promoter of Justice,
"which confirms the rising trend in the ratio between reports to
the Promoter of Justice and SARs.
"Overall, the tendency towards higher quality SARs is
strengthening, thanks to the guidelines on more specific anomaly
indicators which was provided and a more conscious
implementation of a risk-based approach," the report added.
