MBSLanka's Anti Money Laundering Policy
What is money laundering ?
Accepting money as a deposit, earned or received through illegal sources such as crime, prostitution, pilfering by persons with authority, fraud, robbery or terrorism is considered anti-social and probably viewed as helping or encouraging those culprits to continue such activity in the future as well. Knowingly or unknowingly aiding and abating to launder dirty money and mix them with money in circulation is a punishable offense. Tipping off or advising a money launderer to take away dirty money and hide from the law is also a criminal and punishable offense.
