Exposure

Sanctions and debarments60

Sanctioned by 1 authority: UK OFSI. Confirmed present in a source snapshot within the last 90 days.

Jurisdiction90

North Korea is named on a jurisdiction designation list — European Commission, EU list of high-risk third countries (AMLD Art. 9), section III: “High-risk third countries which present ongoing and substantial money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks, having repeatedly failed to address the identified deficiencies and which are identified by FATF Public Statement.” That is a call for action, the strongest category these lists carry. The designation is of the jurisdiction, not of this record.

Not scored

Company associations

Not scored. No company role is recorded for this person, which is an absence of records rather than a finding.

Evidence coverage

Not scored. The evidence ledger records which sources were read for a COMPANY; it holds no per-person rows, so there is no coverage figure to price in here. The sources behind this record are listed under Evidence.

Adverse media

Not scored. Media coverage is not linked to individuals in this system at all, only to companies, and even there it covers a small fraction of the records.

Band drawn from the components that could be measured, methodology v5. The unscored ones above are gaps in what was read, not findings of nothing. Not a compliance determination — check the underlying listings before acting on anything here.
