Crime Fighting Official indicates the Nation is safe to Conduct Business

A top financial crime fighting official is indicating that the twin island state is still a safe place to conduct business.

Antigua and Barbuda has been listed in the 2014 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, published by the US State Department as being among major money laundering countries and jurisdictions in the region and around the world.

Col Edward Croft is the Director of the National Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP), the Unit established to combat financial crime and create a safe environment for investment locally.
Col Croft was speaking to CMC’ Julius Gittings on Tuesday.

The United States has also named several other Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries to include the Bahamas, Belize and Haiti to be engaging in money laundering transactions.
