Pakistan still in FATF ‘grey list’
A global dirty money watchdog said on Friday it had added European Union member Malta to its "grey list" of countries under increased monitoring, and kept Pakistan on the list despite progress on tackling terrorism financing. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) also said that Haiti, the Philippines and South Sudan were added to its grey list, and that Ghana had been removed after the country had made progress. FATF president Marcus Pleyer said that Pakistan made substantial progress addressing everything on a 2018 action plan except a last item concerning the investigation and prosecution of senior leaders and commanders of UN-designated terrorist groups. He added that Pakistan was still failing to put global anti-money-laundering standards into place.
