The Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) received 100 Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) that had a connection to money laundering from 2016 to 2020 but investigated less than half, according to the second Money Laundering and Terrorist Financial (ML/TF) National Risk Assessment (NRA) report.
As part of the NRA a team from the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism National Coordination Committee assessed Guyana’s ability to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
