Pakosta: The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) should be merged back with the police

Liisa Pakosta, justiits- ja digiminister, ütles saates 'Otse uudistemajast', et peaks kuuluma politsei- ja piirivalveameti koosseisu. See annaks võimaluse kehtestada büroo üle tsiviilkontroll.
Märtsis selgus, et rahandusministeerium muudab . Nüüd teavitab RAB inimest, kelle , pärast viie aastat. Pakostal on aga Jürgen Ligist erinev arusaam.
Pakosta ütles, et RAB-i töö tuleks ümber korraldada. 'Esiteks peaks RAB saama . See peab vastama ja selle üle peab olema tsiviilkontroll,' ütles Pakosta.
RAB eraldati politseist, kui Martin Helme oli rahandusminister. Sellest ajast on büroo töötanud ilma tsiviilkontrollita, sest see ei ole . 'Meil on . See on reguleeritud, aga RAB-i puhul seda pole,' ütles Pakosta.
Pakosta soovib, et RAB . 'Kui keegi tahab olla , siis tuleb see luua või liita politseiga. Minu eelistus oleks, et RAB töötaks politsei juures,' ütles ta.
Valitsuses pole aga . Pakosta ei osanud öelda, millal ja kas selline muudatus toimub. RAB kuulub rahandusministeeriumi alates 2021. aastast.
Jürgen Ligi, rahandusminister, oli Pakosta seisukohaga vastuolus. Ta ütles, et Pakosta väited põhinevad eksiarvamustel. Ligi leidis, et RAB-i üle on riigil järelvalve. 'See kuulub siiski ,' ütles ta.
Ligi ütles, et RAB ei ole 'jõuamet' ja selle üle tegeleb . 'Rahandusministeeriumi all töötab RAB tõhusamalt kui politsei all,' ütles Ligi.
Liisa Pakosta, the Minister of Justice and Digital Affairs, said in the program 'Otse uudistemajast' that the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) should belong to the Police and Border Guard Board. This would allow for civilian oversight over the bureau.
In March, it became clear that the Ministry of Finance is amending the draft law on combating money laundering. Now, the FIU informs the person whose bank account data it has collected after five years. However, Pakosta has a different understanding than Jürgen Ligi.
Pakosta said that the FIU's work should be reorganized. 'First, the FIU should become an investigative body. It must meet the requirements of a rule of law state and must be subject to civilian oversight,' said Pakosta.
The FIU was separated from the police when Martin Helme was the Minister of Finance. Since then, the bureau has operated without civilian oversight because it is not an investigative body. 'We have civilian oversight over the Security Police. It is regulated, but there is no such oversight for the FIU,' said Pakosta.
Pakosta wants the FIU to be merged back with the police. 'If someone wants to be an investigative body, it must be created or merged with the police. My preference would be for the FIU to work under the police,' she said.
However, there is no consensus in the government on this issue. Pakosta could not say when or if such a change would take place. The FIU has belonged to the Ministry of Finance since 2021.
Jürgen Ligi, the Minister of Finance, disagreed with Pakosta's position. He said that Pakosta's claims are based on misconceptions. Ligi found that the state has oversight over the FIU. 'It still belongs to the administration of the Ministry of Finance,' he said.
Ligi said that the FIU is not a 'law enforcement agency' and that the Riigikogu committee deals with it. 'The FIU works more effectively under the Ministry of Finance than under the police,' said Ligi.
