PRESS RELEASE
MFA Spokesman Responds to a Question
on US Treasury Department’s Allegations Against INFOBANK
On 24 August, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Belarus stated that the United States had earlier expressed
concern regarding INFOBANK’s possible implication in laundering Iraqi money.
We have seriously considered this concern, stated the
spokesman. The Republic of Belarus is a participant to all universal United
Nations Conventions against terrorism and has been actively cooperating with
the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF).
Belarus’ competent bodies have carried out a comprehensive
inspection of the bank’s activities and have not discovered any violations.
Inspection results have been passed to the interested US bodies.
Belarus has also unequivocally proposed to the United States
further cooperation in investigating any suspicions. Belarus firmly believes
that joint action on ascertaining the actual state of affairs meets the
interests of both sides. |
