IRAN: EU, WORLD BANK DEMAND IRAN ACT ON MONEY LAUNDERING.(European Union, World Bank threaten to place embargo on Iran's international bank transactions)(Brief Article)

IPR Strategic Business Information Database, April, 2003

The European Union and the World Bank have warned they will place an embargo on Iran's international bank transactions if Tehran fails to fight money laundering effectively, according to Tehran's English-language "Iran Daily" on 21 April. World Bank officials urged the Iranian government to stop delaying ratification of a bill to check money laundering. The bill is currently under study in the Iranian parliament, which has found it contradictory to the Iranian Constitution, making passage unlikely any time soon. (Steve Fairbanks)
