MONEYVAL: LATVIA MUST DO MORE TO TACKLE MONEY LAUNDERING

On 23 August, Reuters reported that Moneyval has said that Latvia must do more to enforce its laws against financial crimes,  in a report published in the wake of the collapse of the country’s third-largest bank, ABLV, in a money laundering scandal.  Latvia has been ordered to report to Moneyval at the last plenary meeting in 2019 about the implementation of its recommendations under enhanced follow-up procedures.
