Need to be taken seriously...
If there is no terrorist operating in pakistan soil , there is no need to be caution.
Has it happened yet?
As soon as modi finds his 56".
In 12 years, the guy has grown a tummy bigger than his 56" breasts.
Brahma Chellaney write his own stories that source being himself, these days I take his stories with a pinch of salt.
Next article will be "India drops the plan because of XYZ pressure".
Regardless I wish FATF should take India as a gold standard on reporting and audit and apply these to non member states. Besides FATF has so far worked in favour for us when it comes to certain enforcement action.
Need to be taken seriously...
I am disappointed by India. Such a massive super power hiding behind the Taliban and FATF. Just hoping against all hope. When will Sindoor 2.0 happen?
Nah. not dead yet. dont downplay yourself.
its like pressing the breathing tube attached to a guy on ventilator.
Like I said before Chellaney tweet is rather political and devoid of any facts. But core issue is militant groups continue to gather funds for their activities inside Pakistan. Designated terror groups are yet to be fully dismantled and you're still stuck in enhanced followup because you are still lacking in verifiable enforcement actions. Asset seizure, recovery and dismantling networks. Yes you have complied with most of the recommendations which is good.As someone who has been working in this exact sphere for the past six plus years, all I can say is the gold standard is pretty much lacquered aluminum.
Further, Pakistan's enforcement of AML-CTF measures has become so stringent & strict that even legitimate businesses are crying out when subjected to these measures.
The FMU has busted many hawala hundi end nodes here & every thread of the busted nodes has been traced back to certian areas in the mideast, western europe, a couple of cities in our neighborhood & in south east asia. The relevant information is regulary shared with the relevant international FIU counterparts for them to take action (if they take action).
Honestly, seeing Pakistan's measures enforced on the ground I think the only plausible reason for moving Pakistan back into the Gray list will be political not factual.
Actually politics & political goals do matter in FATF. There are a number of known tax havens & shell company havens which have abyssmal AML-CTF enforcement yet are not on the Gray list. Similary there is a certian country which was taken off the list a few years ago still has shitty enforcement of AML-CTF regulations & FATF recommendations and is a global money movement hub (IYKYK) which frankly ought to still be on the list but isn't.
As the urdu/hindi saying goes "sub golmaal hae".
The USA needs Pakistan's service regarding Iran, so this is not going to happen at present. In return, the USA also needs to keep Pakistan satisfied. It can't use both the stick and the carrot at the same time, especially since the current situation is sensitive.
