Regulatory AlertsMutual Legal Assistance (United States of America) Act (Revised 2020)
The Government of the British Virgin Islands issued this revised Act to implement a treaty with the United States for mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. The legislation designates the Attorney General as the central Authority, granting powers to execute requests, compel witnesses and evidence, authenticate documents, and transfer persons in custody. It establishes strict confidentiality rules, protects cooperating individuals from legal liability, and imposes fines or imprisonment for non-compliance with official requests.
