What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

Luxembourg completed a vertical risk assessment covering 2018–2023 to examine risks from the violation of international financial sanctions related to terrorist and proliferation financing. The Financial Action Task Force warned that informal banking networks are becoming increasingly professionalized and are used by criminal groups for fraud and terrorist financing. Separately, Armenia was placed under enhanced follow-up monitoring because it has not fully met all 40 recommendations issued by the FATF.
