Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regime applicable to notaries in our country, in the light of the recommendations made by the FATF. It is stated that this regime largely complies with these standards from a formal or technical point of view. However, in order to enhance its effectiveness, it is necessary to take into consideration the particularities of the activity carried out by these professionals, from the perspective of the civil, disciplinary, and criminal provisions that govern it.
