In this regard, the minister also said some of the immediate outcomes were substandard, but overall immediate outcomes of anti-money laundering activities in the country were good. “Some of the categories of APG indicators will be negative and we are now working on the matters,” he admitted. The 2016 APG Annual Meeting and Technical Assistance and Training Forum will be held in San Diego, California, United States from September 5-8. The government’s draft report also said according to APG there was a coordination problem between the Home Ministry and the Attorney General’s Office in cases of anti-money laundering activities. In reply to another question, the minister said it was not true that the performance of courts was bad in terms of settling anti-money laundering cases and there were no delays in anti-money laundering cases.
