The Financial Intelligence Unit of the National Agency of Banking and Insurances detected, between 2003 and 2009, almost US $3.460 million related to money laundering.
Daniel Linares, head of that unit, reported to Peru's Congress that most of these cases were related to illicit trafficking of drugs.
According to the Financial Intelligence Unit, it has sent a total of 404 reports on money laundering and unjustified amounts of money to the Prosecutor's office, from which 158 would be related to drugs trafficking, 56 with bribing government officials and 39 with tax fraud, among other offenses.
Lawmaker David Waisman expressed his concerns, because, according to him, there should be a larger number of investigations in course now, due to high presence of drug trafficking in Peru.
