Iran: whitewashing

Iran implements the anti-money laundering law which early Februar was approved by the Guardians Council.
The law is meant to close any possible loopholes in terror financing and deals with "earning, owning, keeping and using the benefits of illegal activities."
Iran's economy minister will head a committee named the High Council for Combating Money Laundering along with the ministers of commerce, intelligence, interior and the head of the Central Bank.
All legal entities including the central bank, commercial banks, credit and financial institutions, insurance companies, foundations, charities and municipalities are obliged to implement regulations approved by the council.
This means the identification of clients, keeping records and reporting suspicious operations and transactions.
Implementation of the law comes after a meeting with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in Paris.
