Electronic transactions and money laundering
The processes of money laundering and terrorist financing are problems of a global nature. These activities compromise the stability, transparency, and efficiency of financial systems, both in developed and developing countries. In many countries, these activities raise significant issues related to early detection, prevention, and prosecution. Sophisticated techniques used by criminals to legalize “dirty” money and finance terrorism further complicate matters. Such sophisticated techniques may involve several different types of financial institutions, primarily banks, savings banks, insurance companies, fund management companies, and other non-financial entities, such as real estate agents, lawyers, notaries, and financial advisers. , through the use of several different financial instruments and other products. If we add cyberspace, as a platform through which the perpetrators of criminal offenses launder illegally acquired money, the problem becomes even greater.
