Croatia added to ‘grey list’ by financial crimes watchdog

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international financial crime watchdog, said it had added EU member state Croatia to its so-called “grey list” of countries, or those under “increased monitoring”.

The move announced Friday makes Croatia the only EU country on the list, which also includes the United Arab Emirates, Panama and Mali, and comes in response to deficiencies in the country’s prevention of money laundering and “terrorism financing”.
