The foreign trade association has asked the Department of
Money Laundering Investigation not to discourage the investor while taking
action against the money laundering.
During a meeting with the director general of the department Chudamani
Sharma, at his office, today, the team of Nepal Foreign Trade Association
led by its president Ashok Kumar Agrawal, asked the government to investigate
the property of those, who are involved in drugs and human trafficking, arms
trading, terrorism, and kidnapping only.
"Those, who have been in agriculture, industry and trading since
long have not kept their records as it was not necessary," they said,
adding that the department should consider the back ground and history while
bringing them under the Money Laundering jurisdiction for action. "The
investors should not be discouraged."
Sharma, on the occasion, told them that the department will always take stock of the situation and check back ground. "However, there are also legal hurdles," he said, asking the traders to inform the department of illegal trading.
