In Russia, they explained what threatens Russia’s entry on the “corruption” stop list 13:31

The possible inclusion of Russia in the “black” list of the International Financial Crimes Task Force (FATF) will have more negative consequences for the economy and citizens of the Russian Federation than the risks of disconnecting credit institutions from the International Interbank Information Transfer and Payment. System (SWIFT). If the Russian Federation enters the global “corruption” stop list, Russians will not be able to transfer money from the country to foreign countries, opens The words of Vasily Solodkov, Director of the Banking Institute of the National Research University of the Novye Izvestiya newspaper.

Russia has been a member of the FATF since 2003. Moscow has to comply with the measures developed by the intergovernmental organization in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The inclusion of Russia on the FATF’s “black” list could be influenced by several factors. One of the key points is to improve Russia’s economic ties with Iran, which is already on the “corruption” stop list. In addition to Iran in the article, there are two more states on the list – DPRK and Myanmar.

“FATF is dealing with the problem of illegal transfers. Iran is one of the world champions in such transfers. Russia is trying to establish relations with him at the level of Central Banks. In this case, the probability of Russia being blacklisted will certainly increase. And this is fraught with one simple thing: in fact, any money transfer will become impossible for us. This is even worse than disconnecting with SWIFT, ”Solodkov concluded.

May 23 Bloomberg, citing the source reportedRussia has warned India of the negative consequences in case of a possible blacklisting of the Russian Federation by the Money Laundering Financial Action Task Force (FATF). We are talking about the challenge of bilateral cooperation in a number of key economic sectors, including the defense, transport and energy sectors.
