 "Global money laundering monitor says coronavirus fraud on the rise")
The international organisation that monitors protections against money laundering and terrorism financing said Friday that fraud related to coronavirus is on the rise.

Iceland and Mongolia were taken off the list of countries under increased monitoring.
