No anonymous safety deposit boxes or anonymous cryptocurrency wallets would be permissible. “The reality is that money laundering is a crime that helps serious criminals and terrorists to function, destroying lives in the process… Criminals seek to exploit the EU’s open borders and EU-wide measures are vital for that reason. Ireland strongly supports the provisions in the fifth EU money laundering directive.” - Minister of Justice Charlie Flanagan
