The United States has reiterated to local financial institutions for the first time this year,... to be extra careful avoiding financial transactions with North Korea.
According to Voice of America on Tuesday,... the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network -- a bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department -- issued the advisory last Friday.
The advisory included that the Financial Action Task Force, an intergovernmental organization, remains concerned about the regime's money laundering schemes and the serious threat they pose to the integrity of the international financial system.
The Treasury Department emphasized that the UN has adopted a number of resolutions implementing economic sanctions against North Korea.
