【FATF publishes Türkiye’s 2026 mutual evaluation report and places it under enhanced follow-up】
According to the FATF website, FATF published Türkiye’s 2026 mutual evaluation report on September 23. The report shows that Türkiye has made progress in the use of financial intelligence and international cooperation, but still has significant deficiencies in money laundering investigations involving high-risk predicate offences (drug trafficking, illegal gambling, etc.), the recovery of assets located abroad, and suspicious transaction reporting.
Türkiye received “Partially Compliant” ratings for targeted financial sanctions related to proliferation financing (R.7) and the supervision of non-profit organisations (R.8). It was ultimately placed under enhanced follow-up and must complete key reforms within 3 years and report its progress regularly.
