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.
