(C) On November 6 we met with Romualdas Boreika, Director
General, and Igoris Krzeckovskis, Advisor in the
International Relations Division, of the Lithuanian Financial
Crime Investigation Service (FNTT) to discuss reftels.
(Note: We met with FNTT, which falls under the purview of
the Ministry of the Interior, because it is this agency and
not the Ministry of Finance that implements all GOL actions
regarding money laundering and terrorism finance.) They
informed us that FNTT had distributed ref C and D information
regarding Iranian entities and FATF guidelines to Lithuanian
banks on November 5, with a request that banks pay special
attention to and inform the FNTT of any transactions
involving Iranian entities. If a Lithuanian bank receives a
request to perform a transaction for an Iranian entity,
Boreika and Krzeckovskis promise to inform post and the
Lithuanian State Security Department (VSD).
