Focus on Anti Money Laundering for Portugal offers an overview of the AML laws and regulations that are specific to financial institutions in this Southwestern European country.

Portugal has a comprehensive AML regime that criminalizes the laundering of proceeds of serious offenses, including terrorism, arms trafficking, kidnapping and corruption. Financial and non-financial institutions have a mandatory requirement of reporting all suspicious transactions to the Public Prosecutor regardless of threshold amount. All financial institutions, including insurance companies, must identify their customers, maintain records for a minimum of ten years and demand written proof from customers regarding the origin and beneficiary of transactions that exceed 12,500 Euros. Non-financial institutions, such as casinos, property dealers, lotteries and dealers in high-value assets, must also identify customers engaging in large transactions, maintain records and report suspicious activities to the Office of the Public Prosecutor.
