Abstract
The requirements established by the current AML/CFT legislation to debit funds from the accounts of clients classified as at high risk of suspicious transactions on the basis of enforcement documents actually leads to the fact that banks refuse to immediately debit funds from the accounts of such clients. Thus, the bank's actions, on the one hand, comply with AML/ CFT legislation, and on the other hand, violate the law on enforcement proceedings. Conversely, the immediate enforcement of enforcement documents by banks leads to violations of AML/CFT legislation and significant penalties for banks. The article analyzes the legal conflict that has arisen as a result of the implementation by banks of the provisions of the current legislation on enforcement proceedings in the framework of their internal control procedures to combat the legalization of proceeds from crime and the financing of terrorism, and suggests ways to resolve it by making appropriate changes to the legislation.
