Expertos del Grupo Asia-Pacífico antiblanqueo evalúan el sistema legal y financiero de Taiwan (Radio Taiwan International)

Experts on money laundering are in Taiwan to evaluate the legal and financial systems here. The experts from the Asia-Pacific Group on Money Laundering arrived Monday for a two-week evaluation of government and related organizations.

Vice Minister of Justice Wang Tien-sheng explains the purpose of their trip:

"Most importantly, [the group] wants to see if any government agencies have loopholes that would allow money laundering. If there are, [it would help with] methods to prevent money launderers from helping terrorists."

Even though Taiwan is not a member of the United Nations, its justice officials meet with the group annually. Taiwan is striving to meet world standards in its effectiveness in legal and financial arenas.
