Federal lawmakers have unanimously voted, save for one abstention, to repeal a controversial clause from the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing bill.
The repealed provision had granted legal immunity to undercover agents investigating terrorism and money laundering, shielding them from prosecution for any offense committed in a line of duty, except for murder.
Initially passed just three weeks ago, the law had drawn criticism for vague and overly broad language, raising fears of misuse and lack of accountability. The repealed section had been intended to protect officers conducting high-risk covert operations, but legal experts and rights advocates warned it could open the door to impunity.
The decision to strike down the provision followed spirited debate in Parliament. Supporters of the repeal cited the need for clearer legal boundaries and reinforced institutional checks, while opponents argued the clause was essential to protect operatives performing sensitive assignments.
