ECONOMIC IDEAL – Tehran, Dec 24, IRNA- Iranian economy minister says his country’s actions against money laundering have been widely effective.
Iran’s Economy Minister Farhad Dejpasand said on Monday that Iran’s actions against money laundering have been effective.
However, he expressed doubt about speculations that the US misuse of the FATF system will further pressure Iran.
