The Government says it notes, “with disappointment”, the European Parliament’s objection, today, to the entry into force of the European Commission’s decision to remove certain jurisdictions, including Gibraltar, from the EU’s list of ‘high-risk’ third-countries with strategic deficiencies as regards anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (“AML/CFT”).
Five men, four locals and one Spanish national, and a local female were arrested earlier today on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery by officers of the RGP’s Crime and Protective Services division.
