SARAJEVO, June 30 (Hina) - The Financial Intelligence Department
of Bosnia-Herzegovina's Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) on Thursday
became a member of the Anti Money Laundering Network (the Egmont Group), SIPA
said in a press release. The decision on Bosnia's membership was
made at an Egmont Group plenary session in Washington after a series of
interviews with an Egmont task force.
Membership of the Egmont Group provides for an exchange of information
and cooperation in regional and international cases of money laundering and
financing of terrorism.
In Bosnia's case, the membership is also important because of efforts
to stop the financing of war criminals on the run.
