The FATF sets standards for more than 200 countries and
jurisdictions and seeks to help authorities tackle serious crime including drug
smuggling, human trafficking and terrorism.
"The Russian Federation's actions unacceptably run
counter to the FATF core principles aiming to promote security, safety, and the
integrity of the global financial system," the group said.
It added that Russia was still accountable for implementing
FATF's standards.
Following a five-day meeting in Paris, FATF added Nigeria
and South Africa to its list of countries subject to increased monitoring, and
removed Cambodia and Morocco from the category.
Russia has been expelled from the Council of Europe and
suspended from the UN Human Rights Council, but is still a member of many international
organisations.
