FATF/Germany – Nigeria - India

[Publication] Germany's measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing from Financial Action Task Force. "Some of (these) new measures are already delivering results but Germany needs to continue to implement reforms and take steps to make sure that there is resourcing and prioritization at the operational level to combat illicit financial flows."

Nigeria's Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) boss questioned the middlemen role played by some lawyers for suspects involved in corruption. "Some lawyers are engaged in the payment of bribes to file cases in courts or to collect receipts. Lawyers must dare to speak and challenge the status quo and reinvigorate the fight against corruption and money laundering."

[Opinion] If India Is to Fight Corruption, the Focus Must Be on Dam Projects. "Measures to tap corrupt means in awarding tenders, checking the raw materials used for building structures, and strict vigilance on misappropriating of funds allocated for resettlement and other works hugely depend on the political will of the government."
