UK places Barbados on new list citing money laundering concerns Article by May 13, 2021 Bridgetown has been placed on yet another list coming out of Europe, at a time when the country is awaiting the removal of its name from another. Barbados is one of three Caribbean countries to be placed on the United Kingdom’s list of “high-risk third countries” when it comes to money laundering and terrorist financing. This comes even as UK officials acknowledged that authorities in Bridgetown have made efforts over the past few years to strengthen anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regimes.
