A new consolidated version of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675 regarding the identification of high-risk countries for purposes of the 4th anti-money laundering Directive (AMLD 4) was published in the Official Journal (OJ) of the EU.
This updated version includes the revisions made by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1219 to the Annex of the 2016 Delegated Regulation which added Nigeria and South Africa to the list of „High-risk third countries“ and removed Cambodia and Marokko from same list following a recent review of the list by the EU Commission. The Commission thereby also took into account the most recent Financial Action TaskForce (FATF) determinations as regards „FATF Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring“. To view details on the amendment, please refer to EventID 21670.
