While appreciating the desire of those in the creative sector to make movies/skits with plots around economic and financial crimes, it stressed that such operators should seek the Commission’s authorization, “including vetting of scenes which purport to depict the operations of the Commission, to ensure that false or misleading messages are not passed to the public.”
