Iran Parliament Approves 2 FATF Bills

Iranian lawmakers on Tuesday approved two bills related to the Iran Action Plan with the intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force. The Guardian Council had earlier found faults with the two bills and sent it back to the legislature for reconsideration.   
News about the much-awaited approval was first announced in a tweet by reformist MP Mahmoud Sadeghi. He wrote that only 25 votes were cast against the AML bill. The other bill was about Iran joining the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo) which also was not appreciated by Guardians.
