Electronic transactions and Money laundering
Electronic transactions and Money laundering
The processes of money laundering and terrorist financing are issues that have a global character. These activities compromise the stability, transparency and efficiency of financial systems in developed countries and countries that are in development. In many countries, these activities withdrew significant issues relating to early detection, prevention and prosecution. Sophisticated techniques that are used to legalize “dirty” money and to finance terrorism complicate these issues even more. These sophisticated techniques may involve different types of financial institutions, primarily banks, savings houses, insurance companies, fund management companies with funds and other entities from the non-financial sectors such as real estate agents, lawyers, notaries, financial advisors through the use of different financial instruments and other products. If there are inserted cyberspace as a platform through which perpetrators of crimes may acquire proceeds of crime, as well as for implementation of all phases of the money laundering process, this problem becomes even greater.
