71. Is it specified that a particular institution(s) is responsible for investigating money laundering that relates to political parties, candidates and elected officials?

 The Vanuatu Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is the “agency responsible for the receipt, analysis, assessment and dissemination to competent authorities disclosures of financial information to counter money laundering, terrorism financing and suspected proceeds of crime.” However, its primary functions are to focus on intelligence gathering and compliance regulation of financial institutions; it does not have a role in political party financing.
