Reports of money laundering are clearly on the rise, said the National Bureau of Investigation (KRP) on Friday.
The number of money laundering reports received by the Financial Intelligence Centre has increased 63 percent from last year.
The number of arrest warrants served by the Centre also rose by 60 percent over last year's number.
The Centre's chief, criminal inspector Pekka Vasara of the KRP, said that the notification application currently in use has made reporting easier.
According to a statement, last year the Centre was given the task of fighting the financing of terrorism permanently.
“Freezing the accounts of administrative staff of terrorist organisations has become a permanent operation,” Vasara said.
