Money laundering: Italy Prosecutor,stop to regulatory havens
Crime chooses Malta and Romania and less severe EU countries
13 October, 17:32According to De Raho, "it would be truly an important step if all countries had the same discipline, and Europe should support this path." "There are countries that have a less rigorous discipline than the Italian one - added the National Prosecutor - and not all EU countries maintain the same level in combating money laundering and it is true that organized crime projects its illicit capital where it's easier to reinvest it, and the discipline is less rigorous." "In fact, some companies - De Raho underlined - are set up only in those parts of Europe" which are not "tax havens but regulatory havens". (ANSA).
