Carrying the Sentinel.gi payments-context position: Dutch AML/CFT rests on the Wwft (in force since 1 August 2008, amended 2018/2020 to implement EU AMLDs) plus the Sanctions Act, with DNB supervising Wwft compliance by banks, EMIs and other financial corporations and AFM/BFT covering gatekeepers. Obliged entities must perform risk-based CDD and report unusual transactions to FIU-NL. CASPs registered under the Wwft carry full AML/CFT obligations. The EU AML Package (with the new EU AMLA) becomes applicable in 2027, set to overhaul the current regime; de-risking remains a recognised supervisory concern.",
