Nicaragua signs anti-money laundering accord

Taiwan and Nicaragua signed an anti-money laundering pact in Taipei which both countries expect to be beneficial in curbing international money laundering and major financial crime operations.

The agreement was signed by Wang Chung-yi, chief of the Ministry of Justice's Investigation Bureau, and Denis Membreno Rivas, chief of Nicaragua's Financial Analysis Unit.

The signing of the pact could expand Taiwan's international cooperative network to fight money laundering and terrorism and strengthen diplomatic ties with the Central American ally, the Investigation Bureau said.
