Ivory Coast: Why opposition leader removed from electoral list?

Ivory Coast's main opposition leader Tidjane Thiam has been struck off the electoral list. The judiciary has declared he is ineligible to run in October's presidential election due to his citizenship.

A court this week argued, that the former Credit Suisse boss forfeited his Ivorian nationality when he acquired French citizenship in 1987. We'll get analysis

And, how does money laundering work, what is a 'grey list' and how do countries can get off it?
