Mexico´s Anti-Money Laundering Law

Mexico has an Anti-Money Laundering Law. On October 17, the Law Decree was published in the official gazette. This law sets out the specific criteria for the Ministry of Finance and the General Attorney`s special unit to assess financial entities and corporations regarding a wide variety of activities  or "vulnerable activities." Some of these are: gambling or raffle business, travelers’ checks or instruments used as a method of payment (such as credit and service cards, including pre-paid cards), hose in the lending, mortgage, or commodity or currency exchange business, commercializing or brokering precious metals, gemstones, jewelry, among others.
