Statute overview

About this statute

This article says the law governs the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC). This article defines key terms used in the law, including money laundering, financial intelligence, legal person, reporting person, and the coordination council. FIC has legal personality and autonomy, and other organs may not give it instructions when it is carrying out its mission and responsibilities. A Prime Minister’s Order determines the supervising authority of FIC. FIC’s head office is in Kigali, and moving it or opening branches elsewhere in Rwanda needs approval by the Prime Minister’s Order when necessary.
