The European Union (EU) has identified 23 countries that pose money laundering and terror financing risks.

The EU listed and added Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and twenty-one others to a blacklist of nations seen as posing a threat because of lax controls on terrorism financing and money laundering.

The move, IGBERE TV gathered, is part of a crackdown on money laundering after several scandals at EU banks.

It has, however, been criticized by several EU countries including Britain, expressing worries and concern about their economic relations with the listed states, notably Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi government said it regretted the decision in a statement obtained by IGBERE TV, adding: “Saudi Arabia’s commitment to combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism is a strategic priority”.

Despite pressure to exclude Riyadh from the list, the commission decided to list the kingdom, confirming a news report regarding the development in January.

Panama said it should be removed from the list because it recently adopted stronger rules against money laundering.

Apart from reputational damage, inclusion on the list complicates financial relations with the EU. The bloc’s banks will have to carry out additional checks on payments involving entities from the blacklisted countries.

Findings by IGBERE TV showed that seven countries were newly added to the existing list of 16 countries, bringing it to a total of 23.

The commission said it added countries with “strategic deficiencies in their anti-money laundering and countering terrorist financing regimes”.

Other countries on the list are Libya, Botswana, Ghana, Samoa, the Bahamas and the four United States territories of American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam.

The other listed countries are Afghanistan, North Korea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Syria, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia and Yemen.

Findings by IGBERE TV, however, revealed that Bosnia, Guyana, Laos, Uganda and Vanuatu were removed from the list.

They are not serious until they add Switzerland.

Meanwhile the most money laudering places are found in the EU. Monaco, Guernsey, Luxembourg, etc.

Keep quiet and accept the verdict..........APC led Buhari federal government has brought us into this mess.....next level poo.....more black lists are coming and very soon Nigerians will be restricted from entering major cities in the world..........economic sanctions loading.

k

Nigeria has made it to the top of every list that portend everything evil since the advent of the Buhari administration.

However, what I can not fathom is Ghana and South Africa dehumanizing us without any effective diplomatic retaliation .

Smh

I blame Jonathan for this nonsense.

Finally, Buhari and APC have finished Nigeria

Wiseandtrue:
Can you imagine if this news was broken during PDP regime

I swr..the country would have been boiling and everybody would have been blaming Jonathan.

Now everyone is just quiet

Buhari should have focused on tracking and blocking terrorist funds. Instead he went ahead to pay them in foreign currency so that they can continue to wreak havoc.

The EU is fully justified.

Why won't we be blacklisted when we have a jihad for a President?

Is a serious issue oo

they are right the dullard has been financing terrorism

Wiseandtrue:
Can you imagine if this news was broken during PDP regime

O boy APC goons like Buhariguy, buhariadvocate, omenkalives and metaphysical would've been masturbating anyhow.

BuhariAdvocate:
I blame Jonathan for this nonsense.

Really?

E get any day we enter good list for this country
