Reference:

On March 16, 2022, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe decided to exclude Russian Federation (further - RF) from the Council of Europe and, accordingly, from MONEYVAL, as a working body of the Council of Europe. Taking this into account, RF is not taking part in these meetings.

The SFMS provides communication with the FATF through the MONEYVAL Secretariat and it initiated the issue of excluding RF from the FATF and including it in the relevant sanctions list. Consideration of this issue continues.
