Pak. beats India in curbing terror funding - NATIONAL - The Hindu

Pakistan has beaten India in cracking down on entities and individuals involved in terrorist financing, a report by a global anti-financial terror body has said.

While India took action against 37 entities and individuals till August this year, Pakistan booked 117 people, the report by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) said. China took action against 29 entities, while Sri Lanka cracked down on 437 individuals.

India informed the FATF that it froze assets worth € 3 lakh (over Rs. 2.12 core) belonging to people accused of terrorist financing and money laundering. Pakistan only froze €32,000 in terror money.

FATF conducted a mid-session review of various countries and economic powers in the wake of the increased activities of Islamic State (IS) around the globe.

India is a full-member of the FATF, along with the U.S., France, Germany and the United Kingdom among others.

“In the light of the growing threat of ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) and other terrorist groups, the FATF has renewed focus on the global threat of terrorist financing and terrorism. It conducted a fact-finding initiative to determine whether all jurisdictions in the global anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing network have implemented key measures to cut off terrorism-related financial flows, in accordance with the FATF recommendations. This report sets out the results of that exercise,” says a report prepared for perusal by G20 leaders.

Oh right, the FATF platform was among the first ones that Modi choose to beat his 56-inch Chest over, via propaganda handouts to almost the entire Indian media, about 'India blocking China's bid to save Pakistan in the FATF by raising it in the APG'. The start of nonsensical tirades by the Modi government and an Indian media suckling on his drooping 56-inch teat.
