PEP Legislation and Regulations

The laws and regulations of the countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands also require attention to the PEP. AML regulations require specific attention for a “politically exposed person” (PEP). A PEP is a person who holds or has held a prominent or prominent public position. For example, this could be a politician or someone who holds a prominent position with an international organization.

The Good Practice now published offers supervised institutions concrete guidance on this.
