Morocco, Ivory Coast Sign Anti-Cash Laundering Deal
Morocco and the Ivory Coast on Friday signed an agreement on the exchange of information in the fight against money laundering and "financing terrorism," the official MAP news agency reported.
The accord was signed by Morocco's Financial Data Processing Unit (UTRF) and CENTIF-CI, the Ivory Coast finance ministry's unit for financial information, the agency said.
It provides for exchanging information that could be useful in investigations into people suspected of "implication in operations relating to financial crimes," according to a UTRF statement.
The deal was inked during a working visit to Morocco by a delegation headed by Adama Coulibaly, CENTIF-CI president, MAP said.
