In a bid to tighten the noose around money launderers from Pakistan, Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Monday urged ambassadors of European countries to put tough anti-money laundering laws in place. Speaking at a dinner in honour of EU member countries ambassadors stationed in Pakistan by PTI's diplomatic wing here, Imran said the only solution to get rid money laundering from Pakistan is that the EU countries must strengthen their laws in order to discourage money launderers from developing countries like Pakistan where filthy rich steal taxpayers' money and stash it in European banks.
He said over 1 trillion money is sent to European countries every year through money laundering from poor developing countries. He continued that developed European countries must pay attention to menace of money laundering instead of acting as a silent spectator, adding no action to curb the menace is tantamount to exploiting the resources of poor countries for which the EU member states should pay special attention.
"The EU member states should help the developing countries to eradicate the menace of corruption and money laundering as these are the major reasons poor countries couldn't progress," he added. The ambassadors of France, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, European Union, Russia, Oman and other countries attended the dinner.
