The Governor of the Central Bank of Syria, the head of the committee for the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing Meyali Adib spoke about the joint efforts of four countries to combat the financing of terrorism and money laundering in the context of Syrian crisis. He confirmed that a number of countries that pay lip service to what they called “fighting against terrorism” is actually means financed gangs.
Mr. Meyali stressed the readiness of the committee he headed for a full cooperation and constructive dialogue with the parties, who are willing to fight against terrorism.
