De afgelopen zes jaar zijn bij Eurojust bijna 3 000 grensoverschrijdende witwaszaken geregistreerd. Sinds 2016 stijgt het aantal zaken dat bij het Agentschap wordt aangebracht gestaag. In 2021 werden meer dan 600 zaken bij het Agentschap aangebracht, meer dan het dubbele van de in 2016 geregistreerde zaken. Dit zijn enkele van de bevindingen van het eerste uitgebreide verslag van Eurojust over witwassen, dat is gepubliceerd.

The first Plenary of the FATF under the Presidency of T. Raja Kumar of Singapore took place on 20 and 21 October. Delegates from over 200 jurisdictions of the Global Network participated in these discussions at the FATF headquarters in Paris. Outcomes: The FATF reiterated its deepest sympathies for the needless loss of life, suffering and destruction caused by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s actions continue to violate FATFs core principles, which aim to promote security, safety and the integrity of the financial system. As a result of Russia’s continuing actions, the FATF has decided to impose additional restrictions on the country’s remaining role, including by barring them from participating in current and future FATF projects. The FATF reiterates that all jurisdictions should be vigilant to emerging risks from the circumvention of measures taken against Russia in order to protect the international financial system. New on the "black list": Myanmar has been added to the list of jurisdictions subject to a call for action. When applying EDD measures, countries should ensure that flows of funds for humanitarian assistance, legitimate NPO activity and remittances are not disrupted. New on the "grey list": New jurisdictions subject to increased monitoring are the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique and Tanzania. Jurisdictions no longer subject to increased monitoring: Nicaragua and Pakistan.
