(UPDATE) THE foreign exchange (forex) stall at the Oslo airport in Norway, which refused to serve a Filipino tourist because of money laundering issue against the Philippines, was not aware that the country had been delisted from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) “grey” list, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Thursday.
