Covering the PMLFTR, the FIAU Implementing Procedures, the corporate services regime, sanctions, and the EU AML package. Free, and free of accounts, tracking and cookies.
Written for people learning the Maltese framework — whether you work in compliance or in the corporate services and client-facing roles where the duty to recognise and escalate also falls.
These are study notes, written while teaching myself Maltese AML/CFT. They are a revision aid and nothing more.
This is not legal or compliance advice, and no accuracy is guaranteed. Nothing here has been reviewed by a qualified practitioner. Definitions are summaries and will lose nuance; the law changes, and pages here may lag behind it. Do not rely on anything on this site to make a decision, form a judgement about a client, or discharge a regulatory obligation.
Where something matters, go to the source: the PMLFTR (S.L. 373.01), the FIAU Implementing Procedures, the relevant MFSA rulebook, or a professional who is paid to be right about it.
