'Money laundering to be ruled with iron hand'

The Anti-Corrupt Commission (ACC) would take stringent measures against people involved with money laundering, ACC chairman Iqbal Mahmood said on Wednesday.

Preventing money laundering is a must to achieve the status of a developing country, he said.

Iqbal made the remark while speaking at a human chain to mark Corruption Prevention Week 2018 in front of the National Press Club.

Claiming that the situation has improved in regards to tackling graft, Iqbal said creating consciousness and unity among people is vital to eliminate corruption.

Senior ACC officials were also present at the human chain.
