A new UK list of high risk third countries for the purposes of enhanced customer due diligence requirements has been published. The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) (High-Risk Countries) Regulations 2021 introduces this list (in Schedule 3ZA) which replaces the previous definition in Regulation 33(3)(a). Any references to high-risk third countries within the Guidance are therefore to be interpreted accordingly.
