 Kim Kardashian Awarded Symbolic 1 Euro in Damages Over 2016 Paris Robbery A Paris court has officially awarded media mogul Kim Kardashian a symbolic 1 euro ($1.15) in damages following the infamous 2016 armed robbery in the French capital. The ruling marks a major milestone in the reality star's quest for closure after what she previously described as the most terrifying ordeal of her life. Accountability Over Compensation The nominal sum awarded to Kardashian is exactly what she had requested from the court. In a joint statement with her stylist, Simone Harouche who was also present during the heist and received a matching 1-euro award Kardashian emphasized that the legal battle was never about money. "The experience was deeply traumatic, and its impact has stayed with us. Today’s decision is not about the compensation, but about accountability and recognition," the pair said in a statement.

 Nigeria completes 30% action plan to exit FATF grey list


Nigeria has moved closer to exiting the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list.

This connotes that Nigeria has increased monitoring of identified deficiencies in combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing.

According to a statement released by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), “Nigeria has completed 30% of the Action Plan developed as part of the greylisting process.”

This progress report was well-received by the FATF, resulting in the approval of Nigeria’s third Progress Report at the June 2024 FATF Plenary meeting in Singapore.

The FATF further acknowledged Nigeria’s efforts by granting two upgrades in this round. These positive developments suggest Nigeria is on track to exit the grey list in early 2025, as initially targeted.

The statement noted that the NFIU Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Hafsat Abubakar Bakari, participated in the plenary meeting. 

As the current Chair of the Technical Commission of the Intergovernmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), Ms. Bakari reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to fully implementing the Action Plan.  She also provided updates on GIABA’s progress in strengthening its technical capacity to combat financial crimes.

The FATF grey list serves as a monitoring mechanism for countries with strategic deficiencies in their Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regimes.  Inclusion on this list prompts countries to address these deficiencies within a specified timeframe.

The presence of high-level representatives from Nigeria, including the heads of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML), underlines the government’s commitment to tackling financial crimes and achieving a more robust AML/CFT framework.

Nigeria’s progress report approval and positive feedback from the FATF are encouraging signs.  Continued implementation of the Action Plan is crucial for exiting the grey list by early 2025.  This will demonstrate Nigeria’s dedication to financial transparency and a more secure financial system.
