FATF drops Ukraine from money laundering black list


The Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) has omitted Ukraine from its black list of non-cooperative countries.

Full-scale FATF meeting unanimously decided to remove Ukraine from the black list said Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma.

In December 2002, the FATF blacklisted Ukraine as a non-cooperative country and imposed sanctions, recommending its members to monitor all financial transactions with partners in Ukraine. In February 2003, it cancelled the sanctions, but left Ukraine on the black list.
