GOVERNMENT remains committed to combating financial crimes such as money laundering and financing of terrorism.

In a statement on May 30, the Office of the Attorney General said that commitment was reflected by Attorney General John Jeremie leading a government delegation to participate in the 60th Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) Plenary and Working Group Meetings which were held in Port of Spain from May 25-30.
