FATF

Head of Iran’s financial crime agency says the country will continue to push the global money laundering watchdog FATF to remove it from its blacklist despite a recent statement by the body saying it would keep the designation.

An Iranian delegation has participated in the key meetings of the global financial crime watchdog FATF after a six-year absence and amid efforts by the country to get off the body’s blacklist.

Iran has approved the last of 40 recommendations issued by the global financial crime watchdog FATF, which requires the country to join a United Nations convention on terrorism financing to get off the body’s blacklist.
