Moneyval – the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism – evaluates AML measures in Europe, in close co-operation with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Massive amounts of dirty Russian money buy influence in Western media and politics.
Mr Omtzigt
To ask the Committee of Ministers:
In this situation, does the Committee of Ministers find acceptable that a Russian national, son of a SVR general, heads the Moneyval secretariat, or does it consider that this undermines the credibility of Moneyval and the Council of Europe as a whole?
