At CASSAGNE Consultores, we are committed to keeping our clients and followers informed about the latest developments in Anti-Money Laundering, Counter-Terrorist Financing, and Counter-Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF).
? Today, Decree No. 291/2026 was published in the Official Gazette, whereby the National Executive Branch appointed Dr. Matías Gabriel Álvarez as the new President of the Financial Information Unit (FIU), following the acceptance of the resignation of the former head.
The swift appointment reflects the need to ensure institutional continuity within the governing body of the AML/CFT/CPF system, in a context where Argentina maintains demanding international commitments (FATF/GAFILAT) and an evolving regulatory framework.
? At CASSAGNE Consultores, we will continue to monitor the policy direction adopted by the new FIU leadership and its potential impact on Reporting Entities.
