FATF Updates List of Jurisdictions With AML, Sanctions Compliance Deficiencies
The intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force recently updated its list of jurisdictions with “deficiencies” in combating terrorism financing, weapons proliferation and other sanctions-related issues, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network said June 23. FATF added the British Virgin Islands and Bolivia to its list of "Jurisdictions Under Increased Monitoring" and removed Croatia, Mali and Tanzania from that list. FATF’s list of "High-Risk Jurisdictions Subject to a Call for Action" remains the same, with Iran, North Korea and Myanmar.
