Liechtenstein so far finds no suspicious FIFA-related transactions: official (Reuters)

ZURICH (Reuters) - Anti-money laundering investigators in Liechtenstein are keeping a lookout for suspicious financial transactions which could be related to alleged FIFA corruption but so far have not found any, a senior investigator said.

Daniel Thelesklaf, head of Liechtenstein's Financial Intelligence Unit, told Reuters on Thursday his agency had been monitoring financial transactions for possible FIFA-related irregularities, paralleling the activities of anti-money laundering units in other countries, including neighboring Switzerland.

While his office so has far found no recent suspicious activity, Thelesklaf said, it was "still looking" for possible transactions that could be related to the soccer organization.
