Website of anti-money laundering commission launched in Syria

Anti-money Laundering and Anti-terrorism Financing Commission launched Wednesday its website, on the 10th anniversary of its foundation.
The website helps visitors to keep updated with the scrutiny and investigation efforts made by the Commission in the country since its inception.
It also allows them to keep pace with the latest local legislations in the field of money laundering and financing of terrorism as well as the latest international developments, studies and criteria in this regard.
And the authorities continue scrutinizing and examining bank accounts of a number of economic figures inside and outside Syria.
The Commission, in cooperation with the authorities, has stepped up efforts recently in a rigorous clampdown on money laundering and financing terrorism.
Two days ago, the Commission has filed a public interest litigation against two local exchange companies on charges of money laundering and financing terrorism, and said it was in the process of inspecting al-Haram al-Kadmous and Biko exchange companies, indicating that extensive investigations have yielded a great deal of information pertaining to the companies’ work.
Reports said that both sides continue scrutinizing and examining bank accounts of a number of economic figures inside and outside Syria.
