Requests for Information in the Context of International Cooperation

(1) The Financial Intelligence Unit may request central reporting offices of other states responsible for the prevention, detection and combating of money laundering, predicate offences to money laundering, and terrorist financing, to provide information, including personal data, or to transmit documents, where such information and documents are necessary for the performance of its tasks.
(2) For a request, the Financial Intelligence Unit may transmit personal data insofar as this is necessary to substantiate a legitimate interest in the information sought and provided no overriding legitimate interests of the data subject preclude this.
(3) In the request, the Financial Intelligence Unit shall disclose the purpose of the data collection and shall state the intended further transmission of the data to other domestic public bodies. The Financial Intelligence Unit may use the data transmitted by a central reporting office of another state only
1. for the purposes for which the data were requested, and
2. subject to the conditions under which the data were made available. Where the transmitted data are subsequently to be passed on to another public body, or used for a purpose going beyond the original purposes, the consent of the transmitting central reporting office shall first be obtained.
