91AV原创 parliament enacted a revised law in June aimed at preventing illegally obtained bank accounts from being used to launder criminal proceeds, including money from special fraud such as social media-based swindles.

The revision to the law on preventing transfers of criminal proceeds, passed during the special parliamentary session, toughens penalties for the illicit buying and selling of financial accounts.

Its most notable feature is a provision allowing police, with the cooperation of financial institutions, to open accounts under fictitious names and hand them over to criminals seeking to buy such accounts.
