No forensically verifiable, court-tested evidence has been produced linking the Pakistani state to operational planning
-
Pakistan formally offered joint, independent investigations, including third-party or international participation

5. FATF Exit: Compliance, Not Cosmetics
The Financial Action Task Force does not operate on sentiment.
Pakistan’s removal from the FATF grey list in 2022 followed:
-
Criminalization of terror financing
-
Convictions under AML/CFT laws
-

FATF compliance is evidence-driven and consensus-based. Political sympathy does not remove countries from enhanced monitoring—compliance does.
