GROSSETO – The anti-money laundering legislation is one of the most delicate and important for the real estate agent profession: failure to comply or incorrect application entails the risk of suffering heavy administrative sanctions and, in some more serious cases, even criminal liability.
To provide useful information for the correct application of the recent provisions of the law, the Maremma and Tyrrhenian Chamber of Commerce is organizing the conference entitled “Anti-money laundering and abusive practices in real estate brokerage”. The appointment is on the 1st3 June from 9.45am to 1pm at the Grosseto University Centre in via Ginori 43, in the Sala delle Colonne.
During the conference, open to all and free of charge, the inspection activities under the jurisdiction of the Guardia di Finanza will also be illustrated with regards to illegal real estate brokerage, in addition to the tasks of the Chamber of Commerce to supervise the regular exercise of the activity by brokers enabled. We will also talk about the Consumer Guarantee Mark which is granted free of charge by the Chamber to real estate agents who undertake to respect the Regulations for the Use of the Mark and the criteria of correctness, transparency and quality in carrying out the service, defined in the Code of Conduct for the sector, adopted in agreement with business and consumer associations. The Guarantee Mark therefore constitutes an index of quality, to protect the interests of customers and economic operators and in order to prevent the emergence of conflicts between them.
