Context
Russia has labeled Pakistan-based terror organizations Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and HuJI, and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim as financers of terror through money laundering, advising people to be careful when entering into financial agreements. The list also identifies Jamaat-ud-Dawa, headed by Mumbai terrorist attack suspect Hafiz Saeed, as working under cover for LeT. The comprehensive list was published by Russia’s government daily ‘Rossiiskaya Gazeta’ on Wednesday with the aim of alerting general public and banks entering into financial and other contracts, as money launderers usually use normal channels for their activities such as purchase or sale of a property.
