In a battle to combat corruption in Russia, the government has decided to create a new intelligence agency next year to investigate fraud and financial crimes. According to Tax Police head Vyacheslav Soltaganov, “This analytical center will have wide authority in demanding the necessary financial documents. There will be no banking or financial or commercial or any other kind of secret for it.”
The Finance Ministry has announced that the new agency will probably be established in the next few months, provided the Russian parliament passes several laws, including one which would list all organizations obliged to report any suspicious deals.
