EU: money laundering enables continued terrorism

[drdon326]

Gaps in the fight against money laundering remain in several European countries nearly three years after they agreed to joint action to fight crime and terrorism, the European Union's head office warned on Tuesday.

The 25 EU leaders last month listed the money laundering decision as one of a half dozen measures with "a decisive role to play in combatting terrorist activities" in Europe.

However, the European Commission said in an interim report that "a number of member states still have a long way to go" to fully implement the June 26, 2001, framework.

"There are so many different problems country by country," said Commission spokesman Pietro Petrucci. But he denied any "major concern" that the gaps could undermine counterterrorism efforts.

This is racist bigotry! How dare you accuse the Europeans of not being faithful watchdogs of money! Their even-handedness and moral superiority is a paragon of what the U.S. (and its apartheid colonist outpost, Israel) should be.
