FATF Updates List of Jurisdictions With AML, Sanctions Compliance Deficiencies

The Financial Action Task Force recently updated its lists of jurisdictions with “deficiencies” in combating terrorism financing, weapons proliferation and other sanctions-related issues, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network said last week. The FATF added Monaco and Venezuela to its list of Jurisdictions Under Increased Monitoring and removed Jamaica and Turkey from the list. The FATF’s list of High-Risk Jurisdictions Subject to a Call for Action remained the same and still lists Iran, North Korea and Myanmar.
