                    [Title] => Search for missing Parmalat funds puts spotlight on tax havens
                    [Summary] => PARIS  (AFP) – The collapse of the Italian dairy conglomerate Parmalat and the search for an estimated 10 billion euros ($12.6 billion) missing from its accounts illustrate the limited scope of international efforts to shine light into the murky world of money laundering and tax havens. 


Despite initiatives by the United Nations, an OECD-based watchdog and individual countries to combat money laundering and, particularly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, terrorist financing, both clean and dirty money continues to flood into tax havens.

"He may have used fictitious names in his bank accounts," said Lara. "We will try to find out if he had any money deposited in our banks."
