Belgian legislation on anti-money laundering requires diamond dealers to identify their clients to confirm their identity and carry out a risk analysis before starting the transaction. In this regard, the Antwerp World Diamond Center (AWDC) has provided for the diamond dealers free access to the database to simplify the identification process, a spokeswoman Margot AWDC Donk (Margaux Donckier).
According to her, not only banks, but also the diamond traders in Belgium are required to identify potential customers. In this regard, in Belgium requirements are more stringent than in other member states of the EU. To simplify this process, AWDC entered into a cooperation agreement with the Bureau Van Dijk, a company specializing in the collection of information from the data on the companies and shareholder structure.
In addition to the identification data of the resource also contains sanctions lists, information on politically exposed persons media reports compiled by the FATF list of countries with high level of risk, etc. The database also included identification information from 250 different companies worldwide, including data about the diamond business related companies in key shopping malls and diamond-producing countries, such as Israel, India, USA, China, Botswana, etc.
