How is financial crime combated in Liechtenstein? 

Numerous legal mechanisms exist in Liechtenstein to combat financial crime. The Criminal Code already contains provisions punishing money laundering, organized crime, and financing of terrorism. In addition, the Due Diligence Act (DDA) and the Due Diligence Ordinance (DDO) establish rules governing financial transactions. The Due Diligence Act includes comprehensive "know your customer" rules. The obligation of financial intermediaries to know the details of their clients not only serves the fight against money laundering; it also is a basic requirement in the fight against organized crime and the financing of terrorism.
