"MEXICO CITY – In the past two years, Mexico and the United States have confiscated $60 million in their joint fight against money-laundering, the U.S. embassy says.
During a recent press conference, the embassy reported on the results of a four-year joint investigation that detected money-laundering activities in the Wachovia bank in the U.S.
Starting this January, customs authorities of both countries re-launched the “Firewall” operation on the Mexico-U.S. border. This program has aided in the confiscation of more than $3.6 million and almost $180, 000 in counterfeit bills.
