The website of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), a central organisation for the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism, was launched on Monday.
The website address is https://www.bfiu.org.bd/, reports BSS citing a press release.
BFIU Head Md Masud Biswas inaugurated the website at a function at Jahangir Alam Conference Hall at Bangladesh Bank Headquarters in Dhaka.
The Prevention of Money Laundering Act was enacted in Bangladesh in 2002 to play an effective role in preventing money laundering.
At the same time, the Money Laundering Prevention Division was established by Bangladesh Bank in July 2002 to make the program fruitful.
Later, in 2012, the department became as a separate entity called Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit.
