The Belarus parliament has not criminalized money laundering but draft legislation is said to be in the formative stages. Under Botswana's stringent laws, the courts are authorized to identify, freeze, and forfeit drug- related assets, while the Bank of Botswana has the power to provide information regarding large currency transactions to law enforcement agencies. Croatia is not a major financial center. What evidence there is of money laundering indicates that in general it is not related to narcotics activity. Croatia is not a tax haven.
Legislation designed to control money laundering is currently before parliament.
There is no evidence that Ethiopian banks or businesses are used for money laundering purposes. In an effort to diversify its national revenue base, Grenada took steps in 1996 to develop what had been an almost non-existent offshore financial services sector. The Government recently approved legislation that will make possible the establishment of a range of offshore financial services including international banks, trust and trust management companies, and captive insurance companies. The government has also licensed an offshore gaming industry. Grenadian officials have made clear their desire to develop these sectors carefully by strengthening the regulatory framework and cooperating closely with international law enforcement organizations to vet potential operators before issuing licenses.
