When FINTRAC has made the determination to investigate or prosecute a money laundering offence or terrorist activity, they only disclose designated information to what?

• A. Disclose designated information to media outlets
• B. Share information with the client
• C. Retain information without disclosure
• D. Disclose designated information to law enforcement agencies

Answer: (D)

When FINTRAC decides to investigate or prosecute a money laundering or terrorist activity offence, designated information is restricted to those who can act on it within the enforcement system. Disclosing only to law enforcement agencies—such as police, RCMP, prosecutors, and other approved enforcement bodies—ensures the information is used for its intended purpose, preserves investigation integrity, and protects privacy. Sharing with media or clients would expose sensitive details and undermine the investigation, while withholding disclosure would hinder the enforcement process.
