Some 50,000 transactions suspected of money laundering were detected in the banking network in the past one and a half years, a deputy economy minister said.
“During the period 1,000 cases were referred to the judiciary for in-depth review,” Hadi Khani was quoted by SHADA news website as saying.
Khani said in the past several months some people tried to disrupt the forex market and were apparently involved in money laundering using foreign currency.
