What's new

UAE placed under watch for one year by FATF.

Or, it might just be a group of countries enhancing anti-money laundering laws and protections. And the countries falling foul of it are generally countries where terrorism and illicit money has found safe haven and/or safe passage.
While not as tight, the laws in India for property ownership by individuals and corporates have become stringent over the last 5 years. Canada has usually been thorough on this front.

You mean to say inventors of state sponsored terrorism want to enhance anti money laundering laws :rofl: that is a very nice joke. Even now US has its hands in covert funding of terror group which simply dont come under definition of terrorists by US and west bcz they serve their agenda. Kurdish terrorists are the best example who openly kill and behead sunni civilians in Iraq Syria and Turkey but somehow are favorites of US so much so they alienated Turkey a NATO ally. Taliban are the best example of US hypocrisy where they poured billions for them to fight soviet union but when they were done same people were labeled as terrorists. If one is to believe everything that come out of mouth of westerners and American then we can write a 100 volume book titled "load of crap".

BTW if you were to compare process of opening a bank account in Pakistan with US then you will find it 100 times more tough than US with more background checks. Whereas you can open a banks account in 5 minutes in US and UK. Dont believe everything you see on media these countries promote money laundering to boost revenue. Once that money in insider US or UK or any country part of EU no way you can get it back.

Idiot like u can say that uae was a heaven for pakistanis they might have few bad policies but these people helped us time to help them

Idiots like you, who work there will always suck up to those, either Stockholm syndrome or sacred if you wrote the truth you will. Who was it that backed out when were Pakistan was being placed on grey list? Who threaten us with consequences when we said, we don't want to join the Yemen war? Who has been helping BLA and funding terrorism in order to stop Gwadar from being operation?

possibly yes, but then I see some contradictions when I see no questions asked of all those shady property investors in England and the ones who open their accounts in Switzerland.

the good intentions and well meaning principles of anti money laundering laws are applied selectively and sparingly
Swiss banks have become remarkably open and are no longer the safe havens they used to be. Since the US cracked the country over parking of illicit money, other countries too have been successful in forcing the swiss to divulge accounts. India now has treaty with Switzerland that allows it to get information of Indian citizens who bank there with the limitation that while GoI will get access to that information, it can not be leaked to the public.

If I were a Pakistani, I would welcome FATF and its rulings on Pakistan which are forcing GoP to amend its laws and start acting against terror financing. A common citizen is most affected due to terrorism-related financing & money laundering as it destabilizes society slowly. FATF is literally forcing GoP and its agencies to become more transparent and in line with the other countries in FATF.
