Compliance procedures against money laundering and terrorism financing according to Tony Abi Saab


Tony Abi Saab pointed out that “Lebanese laws” penalize any activity related to terrorism financing or money laundering, these laws are applied firmly and accurately monitored by the international financial institutions.
In the shadow of the economic crisis in Lebanon, these laws are very important and crucial to the anti-corruption system.
