'Despite hesitance to criticize a key U.S. ally, many current and former officials said that vast contributions from Saudi Arabia and other wealthy gulf donors have continued.
Saudi Arabia has promised since 2003 to enact major financial reforms, but has yet to implement many of them, several senior U.S. officials said. The Saudis have not established an accredited financial intelligence unit to detect suspicious transactions or an oversight group to prevent donations to extremist causes, current and former officials said.'
