U.S., Cyprus boost ties to crack down on money laundering
Cyprus and the US embassy in Nicosia are collaborating to combat money laundering and financial fraud. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are working with Cypriot authorities to identify and prosecute financial crimes. The FBI and Cyprus police will sign a memorandum of understanding to formalize their cooperation. Additionally, a Cyprus-based company, Tokentrust Holdings, faced sanctions from the US for its connections to Russia’s financial sector.
