Money Laundering - So What? III

FINLAND

     In a nice change from yesterday's post, today we will discuss Finland.  Despite having only been an independent nation since 1917 (note that Albania became independent in 1912) and suffering through World War II having been pummeled by the then Soviet Union (although they did put up a good fight), Finland stands today as one of the least corrupt countries in the world.

    Finland is always highly rated by Transparency International as one of the "shining spots" in the world that fights corruption and money laundering and places a priority on these issues.  The results speak for themselves: Finland is one of most stable countries in the world with a very high standard of living.

    Finland does have its problems, of course.  It borders Russia and is a transit point for Russian criminal gangs and such gangs do try to use Finland as a transit point.  However, Finnish authorities are successful in their efforts at combating these organizations and, as stated, place a high priority on transparency.

     As always, have a great and fraud free day
