FATF Issues Stern Warning to Pakistan: ‘Grey List Removal Not a Free Pass for Terror Financing, Money Laundering’

FATF

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has warned Pakistan that its removal from the grey list in October 2022 does not mean freedom from scrutiny. The watchdog raised concerns over reports that Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) has launched a female-led digital fundraising drive using online wallets, potentially disguising terror financing as religious or educational activities.

She emphasised that delisted countries must continue efforts against money laundering and terror financing. She reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to global security, urging Pakistan to strengthen digital oversight and prevent extremist groups from misusing financial networks.
