C.
Notaries involved in real estate transactions
D.

F.
Accountants and auditors
Answer:
C, D, E, F
Explanation:
FATF standards identify several designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) as obliged entities due to their exposure to money laundering risks. These gatekeepers are required to perform customer due diligence (CDD).
Notaries involved in real estate transactions play a critical role in property transfers and are required to identify parties and beneficial owners. Dealers in precious metals and stones handle high-value, portable assets attractive to criminals. Real estate agents facilitate property purchases often used to launder large sums of money. Accountants and auditors may assist in financial structuring, tax planning, or company formation and must conduct CDD when providing covered services.
Casino security guards and judges are not obliged entities under AML/CFT frameworks.
