Recital 36

(36) Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), certain types of entities, namely obliged entities as set out in Article 2(1) thereof, are required to report suspicious transactions to Member States’ Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2024/1226 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) the violation of Union restrictive measures was added to the list of predicate offences set out in Article 2, point (1), of Directive (EU) 2018/1673 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10). As a result of that addition, and pursuant to Article 33 of Directive (EU) 2015/849 as of May 2025, obliged entities will be required to report to FIUs all suspicious transactions related to suspected criminal activity linked to the violation of Union restrictive measures. Furthermore, Article 6b of Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 requires natural and legal persons, entities and bodies to supply any information which would facilitate the implementation of that Regulation to the competent authority of the Member State in which they are resident or located within two weeks of acquiring that information and to cooperate with that competent authority in any verification of such information. To avoid double reporting, Member States can decide that those persons, entities and bodies are not required to report the same information to competent authorities other than FIUs.
