# Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering (Ministry of Finance)

In 2020 it asked banks for all transactions of 20 people and 37 organisations, including journalists and NGOs, calling it a risk assessment; MONEYVAL pointed out that such bodies have no authority to request data without a suspicion of money laundering. It announced an investigation into “Đilas's accounts in Mauritius” after a Novosti report but never opened one, and it did not act on the Anti-Corruption Agency's request to check donations to the SNS for the 2017 campaign. It classified its findings on the source of the money for Vulin's flat as strictly confidential.
