The European Union added Venezuela to its list of “high-risk” jurisdictions on June 10 for money laundering and terrorist financing that pose significant threats to the EU financial system.

The European Commission issued a statement on the new list presented by the Directorate General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union, calling on financial institutions to “apply enhanced surveillance in transactions involving these countries.”
