What does it do?
- This ordinance amends Sections 13, 22 and 29 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2064. It was issued under Article 114(1) of the Constitution while the Federal Parliament was not in session. Its new Section 13(1)(c) says that information on money laundering linked to certain offences goes to the Department (the Act's investigating department). These are offences relating to smuggling (including customs, excise and tax), direct or indirect tax, market manipulation or insider trading in securities or commodities, and currency, banking, finance, foreign exchange, negotiable instruments and insurance.यो अध्यादेशले सम्पत्ति शुद्धीकरण (मनी लाउन्डरिङ्ग) निवारण ऐन, २०६४ का दफा १३, २२ र २९ संशोधन गर्छ। सङ्घीय संसद्को अधिवेशन नचलेका बेला संविधानको धारा ११४(१) बमोजिम यो जारी भएको हो। नयाँ दफा १३(१)(ग) अनुसार केही कसूरसँग सम्बन्धित सम्पत्ति शुद्धीकरणको सूचना ऐनअन्तर्गतको अनुसन्धान गर्ने विभागमा जान्छ। ती कसूर हुन्: तस्करी (भन्सार, अन्तःशुल्क तथा करसहित), प्रत्यक्ष वा अप्रत्यक्ष कर, धितोपत्र वा कमोडिटीज बजारमा मार्केट म्यानिपुलेसन वा इन्साइडर ट्रेडिङ, र मुद्रा, बैंकिङ, वित्तीय, विदेशी विनिमय, विनिमेय अधिकारपत्र तथा बीमासम्बन्धी कसूर। Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), official text Preamble and Section 2 (amending Act s. 13(1)(c)), PDF p. 1
- Under the amended Section 22, the Department's case files go to a government attorney office named by a notice in the Nepal Gazette. Files from other bodies go to the relevant government attorney office. A new proviso says that where the Department's investigation shows a case should go ahead, the government attorney files it in the Special Court.संशोधित दफा २२ अनुसार विभागको मुद्दाको मिसिल नेपाल सरकारले राजपत्रमा सूचना प्रकाशन गरी तोकेको सरकारी वकील कार्यालयमा र अन्य निकायको हकमा सम्बन्धित सरकारी वकील कार्यालयमा पठाइन्छ। थपिएको प्रतिबन्धात्मक वाक्यांश अनुसार विभागको अनुसन्धानबाट मुद्दा चल्ने देखिएमा सरकारी वकीलले विशेष अदालतमा मुद्दा दायर गर्छन्। Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), official text Section 3 (amending Act s. 22), PDF p. 1
- A new Section 29(1a) lets the Department propose prosecution for money laundering even without also claiming the related predicate offence, where no case on that offence within its jurisdiction has been filed.थपिएको दफा २९(१क) अनुसार आफ्नो क्षेत्राधिकारको सम्बद्ध कसूरमा मुद्दा चलेको अवस्था नदेखिएमा पनि विभागले त्यस्तो सम्बद्ध कसूरको मागदाबी नलिई सम्पत्ति शुद्धीकरणमा अभियोजनको राय प्रस्ताव गर्न सक्छ। Nepal Law Commission (lawcommission.gov.np), official text Section 4 (amending Act s. 29), PDF pp. 1–2
