Also, a further package of measures was approved by Tynwald in December 2019 which resulted in subsequent updates being made to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2008. These changes were made to enhance the Island's AML/CFT legislation in connection with a FATF recommendation around disclosures and what is colloquially referred to as "Tipping Off". Further details can be found here.

The consultations for the above legislative amendments were undertaken by Cabinet Office in late 2019.
