By Jeffrey Elapa in Port MoresbyPapua New Guinea’s government has appealed to the Australian Federal Police and the Singapore Police to assist PNG police to link money laundering trails.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Prime Minister James Marape said Australia and Singapore had been the major hub of transit for possible money laundering activities.
He wants help from police in the two countries to assist PNG police in their fight against corruption in the country.
“Therefore I want to encourage police in Singapore and police in Australia assist PNG police to deal with money laundered from PNG.
“And the ICAC [Independent Commission Against Corruption] commission of inquiry has sufficient evidence for us to pursue our efforts to fight corruption.
