Calls for probe into ‘criminal negligence’ of past Pakistan leaders

Wednesday, 26 June 2019 07:00

The Human Rights Minister for Pakistan has called for a parliamentary probe into the alleged "criminal negligence" of past governments and bureaucrats for not taking steps to make the country a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Shireen Mazari told parliament that the financial watchdog was established by the G-7 countries in 1989 to act against money laundering.

She alleged that previous governments did not apply for FATF membership because it would have "exposed their money laundering and corruption".
