Abstract:

Money laundering has become a vital issue all over the world especially in the emerging economy over the last two decades. Till now, the developing and emerging countries face challenges about the remedies and inceptions of anti-money laundering issues. The objective of the study is to provide a thorough picture of the diversified movements of academic research on money laundering and anti-money laundering activities all over the world. This study aims at exploring the contemporary issues in Anti-money laundering based on the academic points of view. Further, the study is explored to render a portrayal of anti-money laundering activities from an emergency country context. A review of publicly available reports, published documents, daily newspapers, case studies, and previous academic research comprised the main sources of data for the study. It is found that the contemporary money laundering and anti-money laundering academic research might be classified into four broad categories. An emerging country like Bangladesh has taken little initiative to inductee anti-money laundering initiatives. It implies that for the successful implementation of anti-money laundering activities, good governance along with a congenial regulatory framework is a prerequisite in an emerging country context. In addition, the machine learning may enhance the quality of money laundering detections in Bangladesh.

Abstract:

The increase in the level of money laundering is associated with digitalization and technification of all spheres of society, the globalization of financial markets, the consequences of quarantine measures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the new ways of committing money laundering crimes. The paper aims to identify the peculiarities of anti-money laundering activities in Ukraine and outline approaches to increase the effectiveness of combating money laundering in the country. The current state of the problem of money laundering is analyzed based on the study literary sources, regulatory framework and their discussion in the Ukrainian society. An attempt was made to systematize the factors influencing the increase in the level of money laundering. The consequences of increasing the level of money laundering for Ukraine have been determined: a shortfall in state budget revenues, a decrease in the level of the social sphere financing, reduced living standards of the population. It has been emphasized that there is a need for a comprehensive approach to the problem of money laundering, which will include ongoing training for financial audit specialists, the establishment of special units to investigate money laundering crimes, enshrining the classification of money laundering crimes in regulatory documents and the establishment of criminal liability for their commission.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to examine how banks in Tanzania have been vulnerable to money laundering activities and how the banking institutions have been implicated in enabling or aiding the commission of money laundering offences, and highlights the banks’ failure or inability to prevent, detect and thwart money laundering committed through their financial systems. Design/methodology/approach The paper explores Tanzania’s anti-money laundering law and analyzes non-law factors that make the banks exposed to money laundering activities. It looks at law-related, political and economic circumstances that impinge on the banks’ efficacy to tackle money laundering offences committed through their systems. The data are sourced from policy documents, statutes, case law and literature from Tanzania and other jurisdictions. Findings Both law-related and non-law factors create an enabling environment for the commission of money laundering offences, and this exposes banks in Tanzania to money laundering activities. Some banks have been implicated in enabling or aiding money laundering offences. These banks have abdicated their obligations to fight against money laundering. This is attributed to the fact that the banks’ internal anti-money laundering policies, regulations and procedures are inefficient, and Tanzania’s legal framework is generally ineffective to tackle money laundering offences. Originality/value This paper uncovers a multi-faceted nature of money laundering affecting banks in Tanzania. It is recommended that Tanzania’s anti-money laundering policy should address law-related, political, economic and other factors that create an enabling environment for the commission of money laundering offences. Tanzania’s anti-money laundering law should be reformed to enhance its efficacy and, lastly, banks should reinforce their internal anti-money laundering policies and regulations and policies.

Abstract:

Money laundering has a substantial and far-reaching effect on the economy, causing incalculable damage. Due to the high volume of financial transactions in the insurance industry, it is vulnerable to money laundering. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of domestic and international money laundering techniques employed in the insurance industry. In addition, it will evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the anti-money laundering measures and regulations implemented within the insurance industry. The research indicates that the insurance industry can reduce its exposure to money laundering by instituting stringent anti-money laundering measures. In addition, this study assesses the implementation and effects of anti-money laundering regulations in the insurance industry. In response to the identified risks and obstacles, a set of proactive anti-money laundering countermeasures is proposed. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of mitigating money laundering vulnerabilities in the insurance industry and the significance of implementing robust anti-money laundering protocols. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion about AML compliance in the insurance industry by providing empirical insights and practical recommendations.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the inclusion of lawyers in Kenya’s anti-money laundering regime and the role they can play towards assisting in detection and gate-keeping of potential money laundering activities. Kenya is a transit point for trade-based money laundering. Accordingly, it is vulnerable to money laundering that can be facilitated by legal professionals, through their misuse by criminals. These professionals can be both enablers and perpetrators. Design/methodology/approach The study is secondary in nature. It is based on reviewing relevant literature and analysing the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. The legislation and the rules form the core of Kenya’s anti-money laundering regime. Findings The omission of legal professionals from Kenya’s anti-money laundering regime constitutes a big gap under its preventative mechanisms. Further, it makes them attractive to criminals because they are under no legal obligation to report potential money laundering activities. Ultimately, the inclusion of lawyers as DNFBPs is necessary. This would seal the extant regulatory gap and ensure enhanced awareness amongst the legal professionals of the money laundering risks that they face. Originality/value Given Kenya’s money laundering susceptibility, it is necessary and prudent to critically consider the inclusion of legal professionals in its anti-money laundering mechanisms. The paper seeks to make a practical and scholarly contribution in considering the issue and possibly trigger further discussions, as well as the necessary legislative and policy changes. This would positively enhance the success of Kenya’s anti-money laundering regime in detecting money laundering activities.

Abstract:

Over the past twenty-five years, the European Union has developed a far-reaching legal regime aimed at countering money laundering. The evolution of this regime has been linked inextricably with the parallel development of global standards in the field, most notably by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF). This article will critically evaluate the content of EU anti-money laundering law, by putting forward a comprehensive typology of the EU anti-money laundering regime as outlined in the successive EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives and consisting of three elements: the criminalization of money laundering and terrorist finance; the prevention of money laundering via the imposition of a series of duties on the private sector; and the focus on financial intelligence, via the establishment and co-operation of financial intelligence units responsible for receiving and analysing reports received from the private sector. The article will examine the evolution of EU law as regards all elements of anti-money laundering law, by focusing in particular on the changes brought forward by the post-Lisbon Fourth Money Laundering Directive. The article will cast light on the influence of the FATF in shaping these standards and will highlight the impact of the ever expanding EU anti-money laundering legal framework on fundamental rights and the rule of law.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to explore the obstacles that the ethical guidelines of legal professionals pose in the implementation of an effective anti-money laundering regime, established in the law on anti-money laundering in Indonesia. Some compliance schemes have been developed to integrate the participation of gatekeepers in anti-money laundering efforts, but the solution to mitigate the challenges must be implemented through the participation of the legal profession. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a qualitative research methodology, including a triangulation of interviews with relevant experts, literature review and analysis of regulations. A deductive approach is employed to analyse the data. Findings The legal profession’s ethical regulations and laws were considered to be the cause for the Indonesian Government’s inability to implement the anti-money laundering regime. The findings show two practical solutions that could be implemented: A government policy for the amendment of the anti-money laundering law and organizational policy to increase support for the anti-money laundering regime; and active participation of legal professionals in an effective anti-money laundering regime in Indonesia. Originality/value This study provides insight into the participation of the legal profession in anti-money laundering efforts.

Abstract:

Надзвичайно важливим та актуальним питанням сьогодні є дослідження впровадження інноваційної технології блокчейну у галузі фінансів, електронної комерції, банківського сектору як найефективнішого інструменту забезпечення захисту, збереження конфіденційної інформації, а також анонімності учасників транзакцій. У статті описано використання технології блокчейну фінансовими установами. Визначено основні особливості використання технології блокчейн, наведено переваги та недоліки блокчейну. Стаття досліджує характер загроз, які виникають під час переказу, зберігання та використання цифрових валют для боротьби з відмиванням грошей. Застосування технології блокчейну в банку як інтегрованої системи протидії відмиванню грошей є виправданим, щоб мінімізувати негативний вплив цього явища. Для ефективної протидії легалізації незаконного доходу в банку автори рекомендують використовувати триступеневий підхід до побудови системи протидії відмиванню грошей. Він складається з ідентифікації клієнта на основі алгоритму консенсусу блокчейну, блокування транзакцій з ризиком боротьби з відмиванням грошей, які визначаються міжнародними та національними регуляторами у сфері боротьби з відмиванням грошей, а також моніторингу транзакцій за допомогою алгоритмів оцінки ризиків інтелектуальних транзакцій з використання метаданих транзакцій та підтримка повної інформації про користувачів. Запропоновано блок-схему алгоритму проведення операцій у банку через систему на основі технології блокчейну з можливим підключенням до мережі зовнішнього регулятора у сфері протидії відмиванню грошей.
Чрезвычайно важной и актуальной проблемой на сегодняшний день является исследование внедрения инновационной технологии блокчейн в сфере финансов, электронной коммерции, банковского сектора как наиболее эффективного инструмента обеспечения безопасности, сохранения конфиденциальной информации, а также анонимности участников транзакций. Описывается использование технологии блокчейн финансовыми учреждениями, наведены преимущества и недостатки блокчейна. Выявлены основные особенности использования технологии блокчейн. Также в работе исследуется природа угроз, возникающих при передаче, хранении и использовании цифровых валют для противодействия отмыванию денег. Использование в банке технологии блокчейн в качестве интегрированной системы противодействия отмыванию денег оправдано для минимизации негативного воздействия этого явления. Для эффективного противодействия легализации доходов в банке авторы рекомендуют использовать трехступенчатый подход к построению системы противодействия отмыванию денег. Он состоит из идентификации клиента на основе алгоритма консенсуса блокчейна, блокировки транзакций с риском противодействия отмыванию денег, которые определяются международными и национальными регуляторами в сфере борьбы с отмыванием денег, а также мониторинга транзакций с использованием интеллектуальных алгоритмов оценки риска транзакций с использование метаданных транзакций и ведение полной информации о пользователях. Предложена блок-схема алгоритма проведения транзакций в банке через систему на основе технологии блокчейн с возможным подключением к сети внешнего регулятора в сфере противодействия отмыванию денег.
An extremely imp and relevant issue today is the study of the implementation of innovative blockchain technology in the field of finance, e-commerce, the banking sector as the most effective tool of providing securing, saving confidential information as well as anonymity of participants in transactions. The paper describes the use of blockchain technology by financial institutions. The main features of the use of blockchain technology are identified. In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of blockchain are described. The article investigates the nature of the threats that arise during the transfer, storage, and use of digital currencies for anti-money laundering. The use of blockchain technology in the bank as an integrated system for anti-money laundering is justified to minimize the negative impact of this phenomenon. For effective counteraction of the illegal income legalization in the bank, it is recommended by authors to use a three-step approach to build the anti-money laundering system. It consists of client identification based on the blockchain consensus algorithm, blocking transactions with the risk of anti-money laundering, which are determined by international and national regulators in the anti-money laundering sphere as well as monitoring transactions using intellectual transaction risk assessment algorithms with the use of transaction metadata and maintaining complete information about users. The block diagram of the algorithm for conducting transactions in a bank through the system based on blockchain technology with a possible connection to the network of the external regulator in the sphere of anti-money laundering has been proposed.

Abstract:

Anti-Money laundering legislation has become a major global issue, with nations and organisations under pressure to adhere and comply with strict control measures in place. The United States post 9/11 in league with other big Nations have been at the forefront of strict Anti-Money laundering initiatives, but a fair question to ask is how well the system is really doing? The implementation of the global AML framework is dependent upon the compliance of individual states, thereby making the presence of an adequate legal and institutional framework at national level a requisite requirement for an effective Anti-Money laundering system. Despite the incorporation of strict Anti-Money Laundering regulations into Nigerian laws, the misappropriation of Nigerian moneys, notably by public officials, has continued unabated. While the need for a concise and unambiguous harmonisation of international regulations cannot be overemphasised, and despite the concerted efforts in this regard, a trans-jurisdictional review by this researcher of both primary and secondary sources like conventions and academic literature have unearthed conceptual, legal, regulatory problems, as well as a seeming desire for theoretical, rather than practical compliance. In other words, global AML efforts seem more academic than practical. Accordingly, legal and regulatory reforms to International Anti-Money laundering initiatives can only be achieved with a proper appreciation of the culture and unique peculiarities of the receptive jurisdiction where emphasis is placed on the local environment rather than a mere response to International requirements for the sake of it. International AML regulations, and within this context, the FATF recommendations are meant for universal application, traversing the distinct quirks of diverse cultures, but the test here is its suitability or otherwise to the socio-cultural, political, economic and legal realities of Nigeria. The fleecing of Nigerian public moneys most notably by public officials has continued unabated despite the incorporation of strict AML laws.

CHDS State/Local
After 9/11, anti-money laundering banking regulations were increased to counter terrorism finance. This study attempts to identify whether increasing banking regulations has countered terrorism finance by reviewing terrorism prosecutions. This study looked at federal terrorism prosecutions from January 2004 through April 2009. The study reviewed court documents and case backgrounds for indicators that anti-money laundering banking regulations were useful to the terrorism prosecution by either detecting terrorism financing or by supporting other charges, such as money laundering. The study did not find that banking regulations detected terrorist financing. The avoidance of banking regulations was used to support money laundering charges in two cases; however, pre-9/11 regulations would have sufficed. The study found that increasing anti-money laundering banking regulations had limited effects on countering terrorism financing. How anti-money laundering banking regulations are implemented within a counter-terrorism finance regime should be reevaluated.

Abstract:

In recent decades, the international community has made a concerted effort to develop the international Anti-Money Laundering Standards (AMLSs) and enhance their implementation at a national level. It is submitted that the AMLSs serve various laudable aims and States should adequately implement those standards. In fact, most States, including Vietnam, have been striving for the highest level of compliance with the AMLSs. This thesis suggests that external pressure and State socialization has compelled developing States to implement and comply with the international AMLSs, and Vietnam is an obvious case study. This thesis examines concisely the development and underlying rationales of a number of key categories of international AMLSs, and the difference in national implementation of each category. The implementation of such multifaceted standards in a transitional State, like Vietnam, requires substantial legal and administrative reform, which often faces numerous domestic hurdles. The examination of Vietnamese AML legislation has revealed that while significant deficiencies remain, certain categories of AMLSs have been transformed wholesale into Vietnamese law. As a part of the objectives of this study, suggestions for law reform have been made to close the gaps between the AML laws of Vietnam and the international standards. It is likely that Vietnam, within a short time, will revise the laws in order to obtain a better degree of compliance. However, given the political, economic and legal factors of Vietnam, this thesis argues that the enforcement of the laws in practice will be still limited. In other words, in the near future Vietnam can achieve what appears to be a high level of compliance with the international AMLSs, but only on paper.

Abstract:

Human trafficking is one of the most profitable and quickly growing organized crimes. Human trafficking occurs across the globe, including in the United States. The high profits from human trafficking outweigh the risks to the trafficker, making this a lucrative crime. Victims of trafficking are often not willing to come forward, making prosecution difficult. Federal laws and regulations have evolved over the years to be a valuable tool. However, inconsistencies in state laws surrounding trafficking often leave the burden of identification and prosecution on federal agencies. Anti-money laundering efforts are one of the ways this crime can be identified and prevented. Human trafficking profiles of high risk businesses, trafficker characteristics, victim characteristics, and money laundering red flags should be combined to create a typology that can be used by financial institutions and law enforcement to identify possible human trafficking activity. Existing money laundering statutes should be used more often during the prosecution stage to add additional sentencing times and allow for seizure of assets.

Abstract:

This thesis advances global governance literature by focusing on the conditions under which procedural harmonisation occurs and how it is characterised. It suggests that the existence of a network of intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) complements great powers’ action and acts as a force for harmonisation in the making of international anti-money laundering (AML) standards. Procedural harmonisation is identified firstly, through a discussion on great power coalitions and how their interests set international agendas and impose compliance. Secondly, it is also recognised as an outcome of the IGOs’ network action through shared preferences, resource exchanges and stable relationships. Ultimately, the analysis determines that great powers are a necessary but not sufficient condition for procedural harmonisation, which is moreover favoured when legitimacy, expertise, and the need to achieve compliance are present. In sum, the thesis discusses the impact of international actors’ interactions in the making of international AML standards from 1989 to 2014, particularly the development of FATF Recommendations on ‘Customer Due Diligence’. The analysis identifies that the United States and the European Union, as great powers and members to the G-7, are the most influential actors. However, it adds that the IGOs network structure created between the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the United Nations, and the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism is also a necessary actor to the achievement of procedural harmonisation. Data analysis is carried out through process-tracing, which triangulates elite interviews and non-participant observation with primary and secondary documents of legal, policy and expert nature. This thesis concludes that: a) procedural harmonisation is a product of international cooperation; b) IGOs gain influence in standard-making through network structures; and, c) procedural harmonisation may be an example to future global governance strategies if complemented with levels of legitimacy, expertise and the need to achieve compliance.

Abstract:

Regulators have been chasing launders for years. The increasing use of crypto assets in illegal trades brought regulators to amend existing procedures and include the new virtual entries. Based on a shared opinion that crypto-assets are here to stay, the purpose of this essay is to describe how the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive and its transposition into Italian law contribute to preventing money laundering practices using crypto assets. In the end, a comparative analysis of the crypto-exchange platforms has been carried out to study how different crypto-exchange platforms comply with the customer due diligence procedures laid down by regulators.

Abstract:

As money laundering is a highly threatening and dangerous activity, its damage is only discussed when the consequences of these illegal activities become public, thus such kinds of investigations are particularly relevant. By fol-lowing public anti-money laundering (AML) directives and internal financial legislation of specific countries, it is pos-sible to improve any money laundering situation, anticipate potential risks and avoid various financial downturns. This paper examines the evolution of money laundering, the motives behind them, the potential economic consequences and highlights the need to suppress these activities to promote higher standards of AML, which could have a posi-tive impact on the countries’ economies. In the empirical part, according to the main macroeconomic indicators, 10 Northern European countries are analysed and the effectiveness of anti-money laundering processes, are identified. The analysis is made using several research steps, obtained results are compared and discussed. Methods used: scientific literature analysis, comparative analysis, data systematization, statistical data analysis, COPRAS, and cluster analysis. Conclusions and future research areas are mentioned.

Full text

Abstract:

The worldwide fight against money laundering (AML) is escalating. Individuals and businesses that conduct and depend on legitimate international financial transactions are feeling the impact of measures meant to counter illegitimate ones. Countries flagged as having weak AML regulations encounter substantial challenges maintaining correspondent banking relations. However, recent experiences have shown that fulfilling the AML standards, albeit necessary, is not sufficient to persuade financial institutions to keep international financial relations. This is particularly the case with international fund transfers via correspondent banks. Jurisdictions such as Jamaica--even if generally complying with AML standards--face challenges to use banks for correspondent services. Reasons to avoid having correspondent banking relations with certain financial institutions include the following: First, correspondent banking is risky in itself, given the difficulty for the respondent to effectively supervise the AML capacity of the correspondent. In addition, the risk of a transaction depends on country-specific factors, most notably the strength and enforcement of a sound AML system and the type of clients. Money services businesses constitute one category that is perceived as more vulnerable to money laundering. Given these elements, respondent banks may simply decide to sever correspondent banking relations to avoid risks--real or perceived--altogether. This tendency to avoid perceived risks makes finding a potential solution challenging. Not only would countries have to attain the highest possible level of compliance with AML standards, they would also need to develop a communication strategy that effectively conveys that the government and private sector recognize and embrace the money laundering issue and are committed to the implementation of AML efforts.

Full text

Abstract:

This study analyzes the international financial flows of Latin America in order to verify existence and direction of the Stigma Effect. Is the AML/CFT financial regulation that addresses the money laundering and terrorism finance phenomena relevant in shaping the pattern of international banking movements? We test if the FAFT listing-delisting events are effective sticks and carrots for the targeted countries in influencing cross-border banking flows. The tests are based on a theoretical framework, where the stigma effect holds if doing business with a listed country produces nonlinear monetary and/or reputational costs. We focus on the 34 Latin American countries in the period 1996-2007 using annual panel data. We find evidence that the list in-list out mechanism can influence the banking inflows, provided that some conditions hold. The relevance of the stigma effect seems to depend on the one side on the efficiency of the international capital markets and on the other side on specific features of the listed/delisted country: regulatory lightness, banking profitability, growth per capita. The empirical specification is applied in evaluating the case of Paraguay using a time series analysis with quarterly data. The study finds that the Paraguayan listing episode was likely to produce perceptible effects on both capital inflows and outflows.

Edited by María Cecilia Alvarez Bollea and Marta Viegas. Inter American Development Bank, February 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005547.

Abstract:

Although governments, civil society organizations, and academia are crucial actors in the effort to fight corruption and promote integrity, private firms and industry organizations also play critical roles. This publication features seven case studies that highlight results and lessons learned in private sector integrity projects, all but one of which were supported by the Inter-American Development Bank and IDB Invest. These studies include initiatives by Peru's largest industry confederation and Panama's banking association to encourage member companies to upgrade their internal ethics and compliance practices. Also, the adoption of new regulations requiring the disclosure of ultimate beneficial owners of financial assets is shown to discourage tax fraud and money laundering in Ecuador, Uruguay, and other countries. An annual index issued by the Jamaican Stock Exchange evaluates and scores the quality of governance in listed companies, thereby enabling investors to identify firms with superior integrity safeguards. A coalition of private and public shipping entities joins forces to dismantle an extortion scheme in Argentinas ports. A private bank in Suriname uses strict integrity standards as an effective client acquisition tool, and a global summary of best practices in procurement and contracting offers guidance for preventing corruption in infrastructure projects.
