Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law of 2000 by adding a new offense to the First Schedule: illegal trade in protected natural assets as defined in the National Parks, Nature Reserves and Heritage Sites Law of 1998. This trade is defined as a predicate offense for money laundering purposes, which allows enforcement authorities to deal with the smuggling of animals and protected natural assets through more effective legal means. The amendment is based on Israel's international commitments to preserve biodiversity and prevent illegal trade in endangered species.
