1401 charsLuxembourg Introduces Bill to Amend Judicial Organization and Anti-Money Laundering Legislation
On March 20, 2026, the Chamber of Deputies of Luxembourg received a government bill (Bill 8722) proposing amendments to two key pieces of legislation. The bill, submitted by Elisabeth Margue, seeks to modify the amended Law of March 7, 1980 on judicial organization and the amended Law of November 12, 2004 on combating money laundering and terrorism financing.
The bill has been referred to the Commission of Justice (Commission de la Justice) for review and consideration. The specific amendments to the judicial organization law and the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) legislation have not been detailed in the available documentation. However, the dual focus suggests the government is addressing either procedural or substantive changes affecting Luxembourg's judicial framework and its compliance with financial crime prevention standards.
The Commission of Justice will examine the bill and prepare recommendations for parliamentary debate. Further details regarding the substantive amendments, their objectives, and their potential impact on judicial operations or AML/CTF compliance requirements will emerge as the legislative process progresses through committee review and parliamentary discussion.

The Luxembourg government has submitted Bill No. 8722 to the Chamber of Deputies. The bill proposes amendments to the Law of 7 March 1980 on judicial organisation and the Law of 12 November 2004 on combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
The bill aims to prevent or stop cases of fraud by providing the financial intelligence unit (FIU) with a legal basis to share relevant information with designated professionals who are subject to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) obligations, as set out in the amended Law of 12 November 2024 on combating money laundering and terrorist financing .
Reports from the FIU will help obliged entities strengthen their AML/CTF procedures, update their risk assessment and management systems, and provide additional information that may warrant increased vigilance regarding higher-risk clients or transactions.
The designated professionals covered by the proposed new bill will include credit institutions and financial sector professionals authorised to carry out their activities in Luxembourg, including crypto-asset service providers.
