North Korea accused the US and the West of the crime The DPRK's foreign ministry called the US and Western countries the "main criminals" who support terrorism. As KCNA reports, Pyongyang has accused Washington and its allies of violating the sovereignty of independent countries and exacerbating instability in the world. "The US and the West, who, in order to carry out hegemonic plans, do not hesitate to violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of independent countries and worsen the instability and social disorder in the world, are the main criminals who support all kinds of crimes today, including money laundering, terrorism, drug trafficking and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," said the North Korean Foreign Ministry. The statement was made in response to the decision of the FATF, which decided to keep the DPRK on the list of countries requiring the use of financial countermeasures.
