FATF Recognizes Effectiveness of U.S. AML/CFT System, Advances Key Illicit Finance Initiatives
November 6, 2026
PARIS--Last week, senior Treasury officials led a U.S. government delegation to the Financial Action Task Force's(FATF) plenary meetings. The FATF, the global standard-setting body for countering money laundering, terror financing, and proliferation financing, concluded its first Plenary under the United Kingdom presidency. The FATF adopted the Mutual Evaluation Reports of the UnitedStates and Mexico, reiterated the call to impose countermeasures on Iran, agreed to publish a new report on scam centers, and agreed to accelerate global implementation of digital asset-related standards.
STOPPING IRANIAN ILLICIT FINANCE
Iran remains on the FATF's blacklist, and the FATF called upon all nations to implement reimposed United Nations Security Council Resolutions related to Iran's ongoing lack of compliance with its nuclear agreements. The FATF also reminded all jurisdictions to impose countermeasures on Iran to restrict correspondent banking, digital asset transactions, and business relationships with Iran.
DISMANTLING SOUTHEAST ASIAN SCAM COMPOUNDS
The FATF also adopted a landmark report examining the financial flows fueling scam compounds, laying the groundwork for a stronger, more coordinated global response to fraud. Building on these findings, the FATF will advance concrete measures to use its full range of tools to drive more decisive action to disrupt these criminal networks, hold jurisdictions accountable for failing to address these risks, and protect victims and the global financial system. Scams orchestrated at these compounds often target older and vulnerable Americans, and the Trump Administration has taken numerous sanctions actions to stop the fraud.
ADVANCING THE DIGITAL ASSETS SECTOR
The FATF also agreed to launch a targeted review of certain jurisdictions with longstanding deficiencies related to the virtual assets sector that heighten illicit finance risks. This review will outline decision points for the next FATF plenary on what the FATF can do to ensure accountability for jurisdictions with systemic weaknesses that enable fraudsters, drug traffickers, and proliferators to launder funds through exchanges.

Flag on the play: CBP seizes counterfeit Super Bowl rings at IAH
11/05/2026
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers assigned to George Bush Intercontinental Airport this past week seized 75 counterfeit Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl championship rings. Further examination by the CBP Trade Enforcement Team revealed the shipment was an Intellectual Property Rights violation and the cargo was detained.
Had these items been authentic, the Manufactured SuggestedRetail Price would have been at least $750,000. HSI was notified and CBP provided them with information on the importer.
The express consignment parcel arrived Oct. 30 from Guangzhou, China and was manifested as "Hair Pins Metal."CBP officers noted the poor craftsmanship and detained the rings to verify authenticity with the National Football League, the trademark holder. The NFL confirmed the rings as fakes.
"Legitimate American businesses are often harmed by these global criminal organizations," said CBP Acting Director of Field Operations Leslie Fleming-Luczkowski. "The sale of fake goods often funds money laundering, drug trafficking, and other illegal activities. CBP is on the front lines to ensure we protect the American people from defrauders while protecting businesses who play by the rules."
In recent months, CBP officers in Houston have seen significant seizures of counterfeit watches, baby toys, and World Cup FIFA memorabilia and apparel.
Illegitimate sales are some of the most profitable transnational crimes. Counterfeiters sell inauthentic versions of popular products in response to trends, often through online sources, which adversely impacts legitimate U.S. businesses. These items include fake medications, perfumes, cosmetics, children's toys and costumes. In addition, counterfeit fashion, jewelry, luxury products, and unsafe electronics and automotive parts can pose health and safety risks to American consumers as they are often made with substandard or harmful materials.
To guarantee you are getting what you paid for consumers should shop from reputable sources. Each time a counterfeit good is purchased, a legitimate company loses revenue. This translates to lost profits and the loss of U.S. jobs over time. CBP targets and seizes imports of IPR violative goods. Counterfeits are a global problem with nearly 90% of CBP's IPR seizures originating from China and Hong Kong.
To learn more about what CBP is doing every day to protect Americans from counterfeit goods, visit the Truth Behind Counterfeits public awareness campaign webpage.
CBP protects the intellectual property rights of American businesses through an aggressive Intellectual Property Rights enforcement program, safeguarding them from unfair competition and use for malicious intent while upholding American innovation and ingenuity. Suspected violations can be reported to CBP by visiting the Trade Violations Reporting site or call 1-800-BE-ALERT.
Consumers can also take simple steps to protect themselves and their families from counterfeit goods:
* Purchase goods directly from the trademark holder or from authorized retailers.
* When shopping online, read seller reviews and check for a working U.S. phone number and an address that can be used to contact the seller.
* Review CBP's E-Commerce Counterfeit Awareness Guide for Consumers.
* Remember that if the price of a product seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stop illegal activity and protect lawful commerce into and out of the United States.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is America's frontline: the nation's largest law enforcement organization and the world's first unified border management agency. The 70,000+ men and women of CBP protect America on the ground, in the air and on the seas. We enforce safe, lawful travel and trade and ensure our country's economic prosperity. We enhance the nation's security through innovation, intelligence, collaboration and trust.

By Airman 1st Class Emma Wright
97th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs
ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Dr. Jillian Watson, the Air Education and Training Command director of logistics, engineering and force protection (A4), visited Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, on Nov. 2 to engage with Airmen and civilian employees, hear about their experiences and learn more aboutthe installation's contributions to the Air Force global mobility mission.
At Altus AFB, developing the mobility force requires more than flying training. It depends on the civilians who sustain installation operations, the maintainers who generate aircraft availability, the logisticians who move critical resources and the defenders who protect personnel and flight operations.
Wing leadership, led by U.S. Air Force Col. Richard Kind, 97th Air Mobility Wing commander, outlined the installation's mission, operational priorities and ongoing initiatives. The 97th AMW develops mobility Airmen through formal training for C-17 Globemaster III, KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-46 Pegasus aircrew, preparing personnel for airlift and aerial refueling missions across the force.
Watson's engagements with civilian employees and Airmen centered on the people who carry out that mission each day. During an all call with the civilian workforce and conversations across the installation, Watson heard firsthand perspectives on the challenges and contributions associated with supporting the wing's flying-training mission.
"Everything that this base does, whether you're in civil engineering, maintenance, or force support, you make an impact that is worldwide on behalf of the U.S. Air Force," said Watson. "So, fundamentally, thank you. Thank you for joining the team."
The connection between individual contributions and the broader mobility mission was a recurring theme throughout Watson's workforce engagements, including an Airmen's lunch at Hangar 97.
"It was valuable to hear her perspective, gain insight from her leadership and experiences, and learn more about the bigger picture of our mission," said Master Sgt. Durwyn Clifton Jr., 97th Security Forces Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of operations.
Readiness and sustainment were central to Watson's visit. Discussions with the 97th Maintenance Group and avionics personnel addressed manning, supply chain velocity and C-17 fleet rotations, factors that influence aircraft availability and the wing's ability to deliver consistent aircrew training. The 97th AMW's all-civilian maintenance enterprise provides aircraft maintenance, sortie generation and maintenance support for the Air Force's C-17, KC-135 and KC-46 formal aircrew training schools.
Watson recognized Jeff Cunningham, 97th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron C-17 flight chief; Kevin Ware, 97th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron avionics flight chief; and Nicholas Baldock, 97th Maintenance Group quality assurance inspector, for superior performance and mission contributions.
The visit also highlighted the infrastructure, logistics and force-protection capabilities that allow Altus AFB to sustain its flying-training mission. Watson met with 97th Mission Support Group leadership, toured the construction site for the new Rivers Elementary School and visited the 97th Logistics Readiness Squadron warehouse. The engagements reflected how installation services, resilient infrastructure and responsive logistics enable the wing to develop mobility Airmen.
Watson recognized Airman 1st Class Joshua Darr, 97th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical power production apprentice, and Senior Airman Jordan Green, 97th LRS warehouse inspector, for superior performance and dedication to duty.
Force protection rounded out the visit's focus on mission enablement. Security Forces personnel updated Watson on Altus AFB's counter-small unmanned aircraft system program and its role in detecting, identifying and responding to potential unmanned aircraft threats. She also recognized Staff Sgt. Tyler Mantoni, 97th SFS noncommissioned officer in charge of perimeter security, for superior performance.
"It was an honor to welcome Dr. Watson to the 97th Security Forces Squadron," said Capt. Jonathan Rettig, 97th SFS commander. "We appreciate her taking the time to see our Airmen's commitment to protecting the installation and ensuring the safety of our personnel and flight operations."
From maintenance and logistics to infrastructure and force protection, Watson's visit underscored that developing the mobility force is an installation-wide effort. Altus AFB's Airmen and civilian employees enable the training of C-17, KC-135 and KC-46 aircrew who will support airlift, aerial refueling and global mobility missions across the Air Force.
