The National Revenue Agency, the Specialized Administrative Directorate “Financial Intelligence” of the State Agency for National Security (SANS) and branch organizations of the organizers of gambling operators will unite efforts against money laundering and terrorist financing. This became clear during a working meeting that took place on March 20 at the invitation of the Executive Director of the NRA Rumen Spetsov and his deputy Georgi Dimov.

The participants discussed the opportunities for the branch organizations of gambling operators to monitor the implementation of measures against money laundering and terrorist financing by their members. The talks also commented on changes in the laws and regulations regulating the activities in the sector to lead to better accountability and guaranteed protection of the public interest. 

During the meeting, it was decided that representatives of the NRA will discuss with the branch gambling organizations issues related to the implementation of normative and subnormative acts, giving guidance in order to correctly fulfill the obligations of gambling operators.

“The National Revenue Agency is partner-oriented and is available to assist businesses in the performance of their duties in line with the current legislation. We highly appreciate the commitment of branch gambling organizations in the prevention and effective counteraction of money laundering and terrorist financing”, said Rumen Spetsov – Executive Director of the NRA.
