People who become rich in a short time will be investigated: FIU

People who become very wealthy in a short time will be investigated by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to find out if they are involved in secret businesses and what they are doing, a top official said during a seminar on fighting money laundering in Yangon on Saturday.

Police Colonel Kyaw Win Thein, deputy chief of FIU, said: “Myanmar has some people who have become rich in a short time. What kind of business do they do covertly? Our group (FIU) is formed to investigate this. We have plans to do this. We will also conduct a national risk assessment.

“Are they making money from heroin? Why are such and such ministers extremely rich? Is it true such a minister is rich because he comes from a rich family? Investigative measures will come.
