Non-profit organizations in Cabo Verde are protesting against being flagged as potential money laundering and terrorism financing risks by commercial banks. These organizations vehemently deny involvement in such criminal activities and are demanding differentiated treatment from both banks and public authorities dealing with these issues. They have been listed as suspects in money laundering and terrorist financing for approximately two years, causing significant challenges to their operations. This situation compels them to actively contest these risk evaluations, seeking clarification and fairer assessment criteria. They argue their specific characteristics—non-profit status and societal impact—should be considered in risk evaluations. The organizations emphasize the need for transparent processes and proportionate measures in addressing concerns about illicit financial flows.
