WELCOME TO THE SAMLIT PAGE

The work and impact of the South African Anti-Money Laundering Integrated Task Force (SAMLIT) has grown exponentially over the 15 months covered in this report, from January 2021 to March 2022.

After setting a solid administrative and operational foundation from early 2020, we are already beginning to show inspiring results. Through our domestic and international banking sector members we are able to access unprecedented and near real-time insights on the transactional behaviour of criminals, greatly increasing our knowledge and understanding.

To further strengthen our effectiveness, SAMLIT has brought directly on board law enforcement partners, enabling prompt engagement between the banking sector, regulators, and law enforcement. Involving law enforcement agencies in the partnership is aimed at understanding their priorities, implementing recommendations of SAMLIT’s expert working groups, and prioritising cases emanating from the tactical operations groups.
