The Ministry of Finance Urges FATF to Include Russia in the Blacklist
The Ministry of Finance has called on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to include Russia in the blacklist due to its strategic partnership with North Korea. This information was reported on the official website of the ministry.
The Russian-North Korean agreement involves creating alternative trading and settlement mechanisms to avoid international sanctions aimed at the destructive activities of both countries.
«Russia Violates FATF Principles,» Says Finance Minister
«Russia systematically violates FATF principles by cooperating with Iran and North Korea, financing terrorist groups, and engaging in cybercrime. It’s time to act,» said Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko.
Head of the State Financial Monitoring Service Igor Cherkaskiy emphasized that Russia is trying to obstruct the objective processes of FATF, which confirms the need to increase restrictive measures against it.
