ZAGREB ZAGREB, Jan 20 (Hina) - Croatian Finance Minister Borislav Skegro on Wednesday opened a two-day international seminar on prevention of money laundering, organised by the Finance Ministry department for money laundering
prevention. The co-organisor of this seminar is the United Nations Global Programme Against Money Laundering (GPML). Skegro told the participants that Croatia had clearly defined its stand and began preventing the money laundering both by repressive and preventive measures. The struggle against such form of crime is based on the legislative framework, he stressed. If the fiscal system is simple and transparent with no loopholes in laws, there are slim possibilities of committing such kind of crime, Skegro added. The globalisation of the world market opened the financial system for the "dirty money", and none of the state was immune to that, a GPML representative, Timothy Lemay sa

on Wednesday opened a two-day international seminar on prevention
of money laundering, organised by the Finance Ministry department
for money laundering prevention.
The co-organisor of this seminar is the United Nations Global
Programme Against Money Laundering (GPML).
Skegro told the participants that Croatia had clearly defined its
stand and began preventing the money laundering both by repressive
and preventive measures.
The struggle against such form of crime is based on the legislative
framework, he stressed.
If the fiscal system is simple and transparent with no loopholes in
laws, there are slim possibilities of committing such kind of
crime, Skegro added.
The globalisation of the world market opened the financial system
for the "dirty money", and none of the state was immune to that, a
GPML representative, Timothy Lemay said.
The international community devotes special attention to this
problem, and cooperation of all states is necessary for the
prevention of money laundering, Lemay added.
The seminar gathers Croatian legislative, executive and judicial
officials as well as representatives of the United Nations, the
United States, Slovenia, Italy and Belgium.
