FATF warns offshore crypto firms create money laundering and sanctions gaps

A new FATF report says crypto exchanges operating offshore can create gaps in AML enforcement, making it harder for regulators to track illicit activity.

A new report from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) warns that crypto service providers operating offshore pose risks of money laundering, sanctions evasion and other illicit financial activity.

“As a result, effective international co-operation may not be possible, including with the relevant oVASP supervisor, thereby limiting the effectiveness of domestic risk-mitigation measures,” the report said.
