USA listed CredexBank a one ‘of the primary money laundering concern’
The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus (NBRB) plans to complete the inspection of CredexBank within two weeks, the Chairperson of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus Nadzieja Jermakova told media on May 29.
“The inspection will be finished within two weeks. We do not think we will discover violations. Yet we need to carry out this inspection,” said Ms. Jermakova. “The inspection will start on Monday. But we do not see how the violations referred to on the website of the U.S. Department of the Treasury could happen. Moreover, it has the information for 2006-2010. We now live in 2012,” she noted.
“Before this, we also looked into some violations, technical violations to be precise, when an employee made a mistake somewhere or someone submitted incomplete information. But, in any case, all the information that was considered suspicious was transferred by the Bank to the Department of Financial Monitoring of the State Control Committee. No problems have been found,” Nadzieja Jermakova said.
The NBB’s Chairperson considers the allegations made by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as unfounded. She attributes it to the attitude of the United States to Belarus. “They are just looking for new ways to put a squeeze on us. Of course, to cut off oxygen through the financial system is the simplest option, but this is not right. No public organization in the world supports this,” she said.
CredexBank is having no problems in the work in connection with this situation. However, this threatens the reputation of the bank, she noted.
As it was reported before, CredexBank was called a one ‘of a primary money laundering concern’ by the USA Treasure Dept.
