March 27 (Interfax) - Russia intends to combat the financing of terrorism on a systematic basis, said Viktor Zubkov, head of Russia's Federal Financial Monitoring Service.
"We have a very good opportunity to build an effective system for fighting the financing of terrorism and extremism on the core of anti- laundering systems," Zubkov told journalists in Rostov-on-Don on Tuesday following a meeting with the heads of anti-terrorist commissions in the Southern Federal District.
"We see every receipt of funds, both externally and internally," he said. However, "tighter work is needed right now between the service, its interregional departments and the law enforcement agencies of the Southern Federal District," he said.
"We found a mutual understanding at the session today, and this decision clearly states who should handle what," he said.
"Russia has reached the level of leading European countries in terms of the efficiency of working against laundering illegal incomes, particularly in terms of bringing those responsible for this criminal business to justice," he said.
"The laundering of illegal incomes and the financing of terrorism are tightly interconnected," he said.
