(ANSA) - Rome, July 13 - The Bank of Italy said in a report on Monday that the "threat of (money) laundering in Italy is significant due to the spread and pervasive nature of organised crime, corruption and tax evasion". The report by the central bank's Financial Information Unit (UIF) said that it received around 71.700 notifications of suspect operations in 2014, an increase of almost 7,000 on 2013.
