Service d'Information et de Contrôle sur les Circuits Financiers

Role

The Service d’Information et de Contrôle sur les Circuits Financiers (SICCFIN) is a financial investigation unit.

As a central national authority specialised in combating money laundering, terrorist financing, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and corruption (AML/CFT-C), it is responsible for receiving and processing suspicious transaction reports sent to it by professionals subject to this legal provision.

It also participates, in these areas, in several international Organisations (MONEYVAL, GRECO, EGMONT Group) and has signed bilateral administrative cooperation agreements with more than 60 foreign counterparts as well as foreign supervisory authorities such as the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg.

The unit also has a second task: to carry out inspections and ensure that all professionals concerned implement the AML/CFT-C measure, recently reinforced by the reform of August 2009.
