All financial transactions to/from certain named jurisdictions are classed as suspect, and therefore reportable to Gardai by banks etc, under anti-money laundering legislation. The military regime in Myanmar (formerly Burma) is one such example - there are others. There presumably are reasons why certain countries are treated in this way - past facilitation of money laundering, international corruption, terrorism, illegal arms dealing or contravention of international sanctions may be among the reasons.
Any amateur punter thinking of doing business involving handling money on behalf of these sorts of characters would need their heads examined, in my opinion.
