This week the head of UAE’s Executive Office of AML/CFT spoke with AML Intelligence’s Elizabeth Hearst to outline how the Emirates has stepped up its fight against money laundering.

The wide-ranging interview takes place against FATF’s Plenary session which began this week in Paris. One of the decisions being made is whether the United Arab Emirates should join the likes of Malta and Turkey on the agency’s ‘Grey List.’

ELIZABETH HEARST: The UAE has been in the news recently because of reports that FATF is to consider whether to put the federation on its so-called ‘grey list.’ Has this surprised you?
