Tavakkoli: Over 500 Cases of Money Laundering Unpunished
Ahmad Tavakkoli, member of the Expediency Discernment Council said that since 2007, over 500 cases of money laundering have been opened, but no criminal has been punished.
According to ISNA, on Thursday, Tavakkoli said: The money laundering law has some problems which led to the accused walking away.
He also explained the importance of revising the money laundering law and said the conflict between money laundering cases and other laws must be lifted. He said money laundering is a sign of corruption “that we find it necessary to fight against.”
Recently, the issue of money laundering has become a hot-button issue after foreign minister Zarif in an interview claimed there are massive money laundering operations in Iran. The chief of judiciary described Zarif as “a dagger in the heart of the regime.”
