The Financial Follow-up Unit was established pursuant to the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism Law No. (20) of 2015 and its amendments, as an independent unit. The unit aims to combat the crime of money laundering and terrorist financing, protect the national economy from the negative effects resulting from these two crimes, raise the level of systems and procedures for combating money laundering and terrorist financing in Palestine, and activate local cooperation frameworks with all competent authorities. The unit works to implement the objectives approved by the National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism, which in turn draws up policies aimed at combating these two crimes at the local and international levels.
