US warning shot over dirty money
Friday 28th March 2008, 2:29PM GMT.
GUERNSEY must not delay bringing in updated anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist legislation, according to the US State Department.
The Bailiwick is named alongside 56 other jurisdictions in the annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report. Jersey, the Isle of Man and the UK are also on the list of favourite financial centres for money launderers in 2008.
The report recognises how the island has amended legislation to stay up-to-date with international standards but adds that it should ensure passage of its 2008 legislation, and enact it, as soon as possible.
