Therefore
money laundering becomes easier when poorly legislation
creates loopholes that can be demoralised by criminal syndicates
and terrorist financing. Since 1996, the South African Reserve Bank
has been in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund
(IMF), the United States Federal Reserve Bank and many European
financial institutions to ensure that South Africa can compete in
the International sphere. To comply with International banking
standards, South Africa has promulgated a number of laws, for
example The Prevention of Organised Crime Act of 1996, The Proceeds
of Crime Act of 1997, The
Money Laundering Control Act of 2000 and
The Financial Intelligence Centre Act of 2003.
Money laundering
attracted increasing interest since the late 1980‘s. To control the
increase in
money laundering, a number of initiatives were adopted,
for example the Financial Action Task Force on
money laundering in
1989. The Eastern and Southern African countries also formed the
Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-
Money laundering Group (ESAAMLG)
in 1999. The advances in technology and particularly electronic
funds transfers brought a dramatic increase in organised crime. In
respect hereof, South Africa received attention in terms of The
Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 as well as the
Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 to prevent the
increase of
money laundering. With South Africa returning into the
International sphere, South Africa is becoming increasingly
attractive to the practical dilemmas of
money laundering. Certain
challenges on
money laundering have an impact on legislators, both
in South Africa and Africa. These challenges include criminal
syndicates profiting from criminal activities to financing of
terrorism such as 11 September 2001. By using South Africa as an
example against the selected African countries, it is indicated how
the certain implications of
money laundering undermine the
legitimate private sector. One way to address the challenges of
money laundering is that legislators must understand how these
criminal syndicates operate as well as the terrorist financing
thereof. This mini-dissertation gives an historical overview of
what
money laundering entails in South Africa as well as the
selected African countries, the typologies thereof as well as the
legislation dealing with
money laundering in South Africa. It also
provides the practical implications of implementing the
money
laundering measures in South Africa as well as the selected African
countries against the background of the challenges and realities
thereof.
Money laundering is difficult to measure, but a
preliminary attempt was made to give recommendations on this global
predicament.

The Facilitation of Money Laundering by Legal and

▼ Law enforcement organisations and intergovernmental
bodies, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), have become
increasingly focused on the role that legal and financial
professionals play in the facilitation of
money laundering, with
claims that stringent anti-
money laundering controls and
increasingly complex
laundering methods have led criminals to
become more reliant on the services provided by professionals to
manage their illicit funds. As a result, a number of legislative
and policy measures aimed at preventing professionals from becoming
involved in
money laundering have been implemented at national and
international levels. However, the role played by professionals in
the facilitation of
money laundering has received limited academic
attention and there has been little empirical research in the area,
resulting in a lack of understanding about the nature of this role
and allowing an official narrative about professionals’ involvement
in
money laundering to persist without challenge.This thesis
explores the role of legal and financial professionals in the
facilitation of
money laundering, using the concept of ‘situated
action’ to explain the actions of professionals involved in
laundering criminal proceeds, and an analytical framework which
directs attention towards the relationship between these actions
and the organisational setting and wider contexts in which they
occur. The thesis also considers the criminal justice and
regulatory response to professionals’ involvement in
money
laundering in the UK. The research utilised a qualitative
methodology, combining semi-structured interviews with individuals
from law enforcement and criminal justice bodies, regulatory
bodies, and the relevant professions, with data on 20 cases of
professionals convicted of
money laundering in the UK. The research
found that the facilitation of
money laundering by professionals is
complex and diverse, comprising a variety of actions, purposes,
actors and relationships. While some professionals are complicit in
the
laundering, many cases involve a more ambiguous ‘grey area’ of
intent, which is not about making a deliberate choice to offend or
taking opportunities to facilitate
money laundering. Instead,
decisions to proceed with transactions involving criminal proceeds
are shaped by the nature of the occupational role, social
relationships and dynamics, and the particular circumstances
leading up to and surrounding the point at which the decision is
made. A mixed response, involving both criminal justice and
regulatory processes, may be the most effective approach to
professional involvement in
money laundering. However, there are a
number of problems with such a model at the current time, including
a lack of communication and trust between law enforcement and
regulatory bodies, and limitations in the scope of
regulation.

▼ This study provided comprehensive details and assessment on the economic effects of anti-money laundering in Namibia. The mixed method was used to describe and analyse money laundering and financing terrorism in Namibia. The study also used a regression model to analyse the effect of money laundering on the economy. The topic is vital with regards to the main findings that revealed that money-laundered negatively affects economic growth. Corruption and tax evasion were identified as the biggest contributors to the problem. The discussion on the effective implementation of the Financial Action Task Force recommendations were performed. There is therefore a low rate of successful prosecution and convictions on money laundering in Namibia. Namibia has shown significant improvement since the previous mutual evaluation in 2005. The country has also shown commitment in preparation for the upcoming mutual evaluation in 2020. The areas that require improvement relate to the prosecution and convictions on money laundering offenses. Overall, there are significant cases of money laundering in Namibia, and legislations in that regard are already in place. Various cases on money laundering are discussed to provide an overview of the problem, as well as effectiveness of the combating systems and mechanisms. The study provided the statistics mainly from the Financial Intelligence Centre as an overview of the magnitude of the suspicious transaction and activity reports involving money laundering. The risk is noted on the statistics regarding the electronic and international fund transfer and cash transaction reports, which gives an overview and magnitude of the financial flows within financial institutions. Overall, Namibia seems to be in a progressive system to address threats and vulnerabilities; however, there are gaps that negatively impede the effectiveness of the national anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism.

▼ Money laundering is a major and ongoing global issue that has not been addressed with a dynamic approach by authorities using multiple systems. Made powerful by modern tools and resources available to them,
money launderers are adopting more sophisticated schemes, spanning across many countries, to avoid being detected by anti-
money laundering systems. Consequently,
money laundering detection and prevention techniques must be multi-layered, multi-method, and multi-component to be ahead of the evolving
laundering schemes. Handling such a multifaceted problem involves a large amount of unstructured, semi-structured and transactional data that stream at speeds requiring a high level of analytical processing to discover unraveling business-complexities, and discover deliberately concealed relationships.
Therefore, I developed the
money laundering evolution detection framework (MLEDF) to capture the trail of the dynamic and evolving schemes. My framework uses sequence matching, case-based analysis, social network analysis, and more importantly, complex event processing to link the fraud trails. My system capture a single scheme as an event in a trail in "real-time", and then using detection algorithms, associate the captured event with other ongoing events.
A comprehensive Anti
Money Laundering system must incorporate a risk modeling that calculates the dynamic attributes of transactional relationships and the potential social relationships among seemingly unrelated entities from a financial perspective. Therefore, I developed an industry-wide system to assign a risk scores to any transaction for being a part of a larger
money laundering scheme. This score should be valid across every financial domain, continuously updated, and it is not specific to the evaluating financial institution.
Additionally, I developed a transaction scoring exchange and
money laundering prevention framework that uses a transaction messaging system and assigns scores to the transactions, where the score is derived from the dynamics risk of the transaction and the statically computed risk score. The transaction score is correlated to the static and dynamic risk scores, in order to identify transactions score pertaining to
money laundering, and to prevent transaction sequences from being executed. The transaction score uses dynamic risk scores obtained from the analytical results of the real-time detection algorithms to produce valid results.
My
money laundering prevention system relies upon the finding of an accurate detection system, supported by dynamic risk modeling systems for transaction scoring. My prevention framework includes a protocol to exchange the information among the framework participants, and it incorporates two levels of cooperation and information sharing.
The developed three level systems in this study consist of multi-levels and multi-components, and they can be easily incorporated within existing structure financial institutions. My system allows financial investigators to overcome the…

▼ Tax collecting in the developing countries has been associated with a lot of fraud which is a challenge to detect. This is because of the growth in size of data and also the absence of fully automated business processes. Zambia’s tax administration is not an exception to such challenges. Zambia Revenue Authority houses huge sizes of data that need complex mechanisms in order to extract useful tax information. The purpose of the study was to establish the magnitude of the challenges in fraud detection on bulk tax data, to come up with a model which will be used to design a prototype for detection of fraud on tax data for ZRA and further to design the tool which will help to detect fraud on the bulk tax data.
Our baseline study showed that currently ZRA uses traditional methods such as Targeted Audits, Random Audits, and whistle blowing to detect fraud on tax data. The baseline also showed that it takes long, above 7 days to detect anomalies or fraud on the bulk tax data. This method is tedious, time consuming and is prone to error. A model which implements data mining, outlier algorithms for fraud detection and is based on, Continuous Monitoring of Distance Based and Distance Based Outlier Queries was then designed.
Further, the prototype of ZRA Fraud detector was developed in java using weka Java libraries and NetBeans IDE which implements numerous data mining algorithms. The back end was implemented using MySQL and workbench 6.3 CE a unified visual tool for database architects and developers was used to interact with the Database
To implement the prototype, both algorithms were used, underpayments and overpayments according to business rules were detected and were marked as outliers. The results produced by our tool showed improvement in terms of speed of detecting fraud. It took 2 milliseconds to detect anomalies on 1000 bulk tax records as compared to the traditional method which takes above 7 days to detect anomalies on one record. The results of the fraud detection tool also showed the capability of clustering the tax payers into meaningful groups based on the business rules.

▼ With the advent of globalisation the sports industry
has shown exponential growth in the last 20 years. The surge of
commercialisation of sport, the unprecedented internationalisation
of the sports labour market, the enormous sums of
money paid for
the broadcasting rights of big sporting events, the attraction by
multinational blue chip sponsors as well as the direct private
investment by the worlds super wealthy have all contributed to the
growing economic and social importance of sports.
This massive
influx of big
money into sports does have its drawbacks. The
criminal world has always shown adaptability in finding new
channels to launder the proceeds of their illegal activities. Ever
increasing and stricter measures and standards put in place by
inter-governmental bodies like the Financial Action Task Force
(FATF) as well as the increasing compliance of financial
institutions the world over with these standards has meant that
various legitimate sectors are at risk of being infected with
criminal
money.
In a Report released by the FATF entitled ‘
Money
Laundering through the Football Sector’ one of the vulnerabilities
of football clubs that was identified was the increased strain on
their financial needs. Big Clubs require large budgets to be able
to compete and afford the best players. Prices for players appear
irrational and are very difficult to control. Player salaries
comprise a substantial portion of the clubs total budgets. The
result of this factor is that a large percentage of clubs are in
financial trouble. This financial vulnerability can make clubs more
susceptible to offers made from criminals looking for avenues to
launder their ill-gotten gains.
A salary cap is simply put a
limit on the amount of
money a club is permitted to spend on
salaries. This limit or cap comes in various forms but is usually
implemented as a percentage of the club’s annual average revenues.
It is a rather controversial measure and certainly has its
detractors, but it has shown to increase competitive balance and
maintain financial stability in the leagues that they have been
introduced.
Salary caps are in effect in professional team
sports all around the world. It has been used successfully in North
America in their National Football and National Basketball leagues
respectively, as well as in Australia in the Australian Football
League and the National Rugby League and into UK professional rugby
by the Rugby Football League and later by the Rugby Football
Union.
This mini dissertation aims to illustrate the threat
posed to professional football by criminal organisations seeking to
find new ways to launder the proceeds of their crimes as well as
provide an overview of
money laundering as a crime. It further aims
to provide an overview of salary capping and then tie in the
purpose and benefits of the implementation of a salary cap and how
it may inadvertently be used to curb
money laundering.

▼ Purpose: the purpose of this research is to critically examine the anti
money laundering
framework of the country, the mechanisms to fight it and to suggest ways of enhancing the
effectiveness of the law in achieving its objective with specific reference to the banking
sector.
Design/ Methodology/ Approach: the relevant laws enacted to tackle
money laundering are
examined to assess their adequacy or otherwise. The research describes the fight against
money laundering in Ethiopia, analyses the gaps still remaining between Ethiopia and
internationally accepted standards and points out the future efforts to be made in general and
from the banking perspective in particular.
Findings: Ethiopia has made a remarkable progress in fighting
money laundering activities;
gaps however are still remaining and further efforts should be made to avoid the lacunae in
the anti
money laundering laws of the country as recommended.
Originality/ Value: the research presents a comprehensive analysis and comment on the new
anti
money laundering law of the country which would be beneficial to policy makers,
relevant administrators and to the banking sector.
Research Limitation: the fact that the anti
money laundering law is new and the required
organs are under establishment, it becomes impossible to evaluate the law from pragmatic
approach which constitutes an issue for further research. Freedom of information is also
another chronic challenge to the writer.

▼ One of the economic cnmes that have adversely affected the level of economic development in Africa today is money laundering. Money laundering has the notorious tendency to discourage or frustrate legitimate business enterprise, corrupt the financial system and ultimately, the socio-political system. Money laundering diminishes government tax revenue and weakens government control over the economy and thus undermining the function and integrity of financial systems. Modern financial systems, in addition to facilitating legitimate commerce, permit criminals to order the transfer of millions of shillings instantly. Criminals have always endeavored to conceal the origin of illegally generated funds in order to erase all trace of their wrongdoings.
This study sought to establish the challenges faced by the Central Bank of Kenya in combating money laundering in the country and determine how the bank is dealing with these challenges. The significance of the study will help the bank as the regulator in financial industry realize the areas of attention and where it needs to improve in order succeed on its objective in combating money laundering in Kenya.
The researcher carried out a case study of Central Bank of Kenya to find out the challenges it faces in combating money laundering the respondents were senior bank managers and officers of Bank Supervision Department and Bank Fraud Investigation Unit who were required to respond to questions in an interview quide. Each section of the interview guide was aimed at answering each of the 2 objectives of the study.
The study established that Kenya is faced with the challenge of the porous borders especially the war torn neighboring States which aid in human and drug trafficking and piracy combined with the extensive unsecured borders along these states. The findings indicated this as the sole agent through which money launders have taken advantage. Porous borders are also the source of terrorism financing through unreported foreign cash inflows not ascertained if related to money laundering. It is difficult for the regulator to trace or detect the proceeds of crimes either through aliens, hard cash smuggled in and
v
out of the country. The AML act empowers the Financial Reporting Centre to ensure compliance.
The study identified the money laundering challenges as; lack of adequate laws, delay in implementation of the recently enacted AML Act, lack of laws to deal with money laundering in neighbouring countries, difficulty in monitoring the movements of people including terrorists, presence of cash couriers, ease of smuggling, corruption at the porous borders , unreported cash flows and legal and regulatory challenges. The study further found out that the big challenge for reporting institutions is to strike a proper balance between implementing the Act and maintaining client confidentiality for the case of the commercial banks and this will affect how CBK can effectively monitor and supervise them in combating the vice.
The study concludes that that money…

The facilitation of money laundering by legal and financial professionals : roles, relationships and response.

▼ Law enforcement organisations and intergovernmental bodies, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), have become increasingly focused on the role that legal and financial professionals play in the facilitation of money laundering, with claims that stringent anti-money laundering controls and increasingly complex laundering methods have led criminals to become more reliant on the services provided by professionals to manage their illicit funds. As a result, a number of legislative and policy measures aimed at preventing professionals from becoming involved in money laundering have been implemented at national and international levels. However, the role played by professionals in the facilitation of money laundering has received limited academic attention and there has been little empirical research in the area, resulting in a lack of understanding about the nature of this role and allowing an official narrative about professionals’ involvement in money laundering to persist without challenge. This thesis explores the role of legal and financial professionals in the facilitation of money laundering, using the concept of ‘situated action’ to explain the actions of professionals involved in laundering criminal proceeds, and an analytical framework which directs attention towards the relationship between these actions and the organisational setting and wider contexts in which they occur. The thesis also considers the criminal justice and regulatory response to professionals’ involvement in money laundering in the UK. The research utilised a qualitative methodology, combining semi-structured interviews with individuals from law enforcement and criminal justice bodies, regulatory bodies, and the relevant professions, with data on 20 cases of professionals convicted of money laundering in the UK. The research found that the facilitation of money laundering by professionals is complex and diverse, comprising a variety of actions, purposes, actors and relationships. While some professionals are complicit in the laundering, many cases involve a more ambiguous ‘grey area’ of intent, which is not about making a deliberate choice to offend or taking opportunities to facilitate money laundering. Instead, decisions to proceed with transactions involving criminal proceeds are shaped by the nature of the occupational role, social relationships and dynamics, and the particular circumstances leading up to and surrounding the point at which the decision is made. A mixed response, involving both criminal justice and regulatory processes, may be the most effective approach to professional involvement in money laundering. However, there are a number of problems with such a model at the current time, including a lack of communication and trust between law enforcement and regulatory bodies, and limitations in the scope of regulation.

▼ In 20 the years after the genocide that afflicted Rwanda, the country has made
considerable progress towards developing human resources in the public sector. It has kick-started its economy and improved sectors such as public health and education. There is still a need to attract direct foreign investment to boost the economy even further. However, Rwanda needs to take precautionary measures to ensure that it does not fall prey to economic criminality which will impede its economic progress. The fact of the matter is that young transitional democracies are prone to attract economic delinquents who take advantage of loopholes in the law to advance their criminal goals. This is particularly so in a country such as Rwanda, where the government has to prioritise other pressing needs that must be addressed. This paper assesses the extent to which Rwanda is prepared to deal with the menace of
money laundering, a threat that may well stunt its ambitions to build a strong economy.

▼ Le blanchiment de capitaux est actuellement le délit qui connaît la plus importante croissance. Par ailleurs, la lutte contre ce phénomène reste un thème actuel et global. Consciente du caractère essentiellement transfrontalier de ce fléau et ses conséquences néfastes qu’il présente particulièrement pour les pays en voie de développement dont les systèmes financiers sont réputés fragiles, l’Algérie a mis en place divers instruments afin de combattre le blanchiment d’argent. Outre sa participation aux instruments internationaux, elle a mis en place des moyens nationaux permettant de lutter contre cette forme de délinquance financière. Nous avons analysé ces instruments et les modifications récentes apportées en la matière par les autorités algériennes.
Money laundering is currently an offense that is still growing. Moreover, the fight against this phenomenon remains an overall theme. Recognizing the transboundary nature of this scourge and its harmful consequences that this presents particularly for the developing countries whose financial systems are notoriously fragile, Algeria has introduced various instruments to fight money laundering. In addition to its participation in international instruments, it has set up national means to fight against this form of financial crime. We analyzed these instruments and the recent changes made by the Algerian authorities.

▼ This study examines the relationship between countries’ compliance with AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism) regulations and foreign direct investment. This study, to the best of the author’s knowledge, is the first to establish a link between AML/CFT compliance and FDI, with FDI being the dependent variable and AML/CFT compliance, the independent. The research uses a sample size of 74 FATF member states and extracts data on their FDI net inflows and AML/CFT compliance ratings from the year 2004 to 2016. Furthermore, it employs a multiple regression analysis with five control variables.
The results of the analysis indicate that a country’s compliance with AML/CFT regulations is a driver of the influx of foreign direct investment into its economy. This discovery is important because the costs of compliance – what seems to be the largest barrier – is not as challenging as it used to appear. Bearing this in mind, countries would be encouraged to put more effort into their compliance activities, instead of aiming for the minimum acceptable level, which seems to be the case at the moment. In addition, it is discovered that the market size, quality of infrastructure, quality of human capital and inflation rate are very instrumental in the attraction of FDI.

▼ With the rules and regulations the federal government has put in place, financial institutions must consistently improve their anti-
money laundering programs. Financial institutions use alert monitoring systems to combat a number of
money laundering behaviors. The alert monitoring systems tend to be third-party applications that generate thousands and thousands of weekly and monthly alerts of which a majority do not indicate suspicious behavior. This drives up cost as every alert generated by the monitoring system must be investigated by the research analysts. Structuring, one of the most common
money laundering behaviors, generally occurs when illegitimate funds are deposited or moved in a banking system. Because a report must be filled out by the customer for transactions over $10,000,
money launderers tend to conduct a transaction or multiple transactions under the threshold amount to avoid creating a paper trail. This study presents a method to reduce the number of non-suspicious alerts for the Structuring
money laundering behavior using data mining methods and models with SPSS Clementine/Modeler. The CART and C5.0 decision tree algorithms as well as logistic regression were used to reduce the number of non-suspicious alerts, or false positives. In addition, the voting method of combining models was used to further increase the effectiveness over individual models. Because financial institutions can be heavily penalized in the millions of dollars by missing suspicious activity, the goal is to create a method to remove false positives and true negatives without removing true positives and false negatives prior to the analysts investigating the alerts generated by the alert monitoring system. This research found that no one individual model allowed for this. However, the voting method of combining models found that roughly 5% of the alerts could be removed from being analyzed without losing any suspicious alerts

▼ This paper discusses the progress of international anti-
money laundering (AML) law with regard to making tax evasion a predicate offence for the crime of
money laundering (ML). This paper will focus particularly on the recent amendments that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) made to its 40 + 9 Recommendations. The FATF Recommendations are recognised as the global AML standards. The amendments to these have resulted in tax crimes being made designated offences for ML. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the rationale behind this change and to assess the implications of bringing fiscal crimes under the AML regime.

▼ Money laundering (hereafter ML) is a multidisciplinary topic which has become important since the late 1980s. The term ‘laundering’ literally means ‘washing’ or ‘removing dirt’. It has been defined as the conversion of criminal income into assets that cannot be traced back to the underlying crime. Criminals use ML as a way of keeping control over the proceeds of crime and to provide, ultimately, a cover for their income and wealth. ML occurs every time any transaction takes place, regardless of whether it involves any form of property or benefit, whether tangible or not tangible, which is derived from criminal activity. ML is regulated at the global, regional and national levels. To combat ML and other financial crimes, Malawi enacted the Financial Crimes Act (hereafter FCA). The FCA establishes the Financial Intelligence Authority (hereafter FIA) as an institution whose objectives include collecting financial intelligence regarding suspicious transactions.

▼ This thesis investigates the link between Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) as well as firm performance and ERM in the Ghanaian banking industry. The study attempts to construct two barometers; AML and ERM barometers using PCA methodology to gauge levels of compliance and adoption. The global financial system continues to be plagued with uncertainties that need effective dynamic operational risk management programmes in order to ensure financial institutions stay in business. Though risk management in banks has improved over the years with the adoption of enterprise risk management (ERM) and anti-money laundering compliance frameworks, the association between the two has not been tested. This study therefore adopts a positivist management research philosophy, a deductive and quantitative approach to establish the relationship between AML and ERM within the Ghanaian banking space. Also, the drivers of AML and ERM in Ghanaian banking sector are also investigated. Results indicate that, the eight COSO ERM input variables are statistically significant and could drive ERM in Ghanaian banks. Also, money laundering risk assessment, records management, compliance programme and corporate governance significantly predict AML in Ghanaian banks. In addition, AML influences banks adoption of ERM. Surprisingly, there was no statistically significant relationship between firm performance and ERM. The study concludes that as banks devote resources to AML compliance, the ERM improves. The study recommends that banks invest in their AML systems in order to improve their ERM. Furthermore, the study provides policy support to the global AML standard setters/regulators.

▼ This study sheds light on some aspects of
money laundering and the role of accounting by examining how does
money laundering persist and continue to increase or go undetected for extended periods of time given the institutional settings of increasing regulation, increasing monitoring and control systems at financial institutions, and increasing attention by accounting professionals. The study consists of three individual papers all connected to the common theme of accounting and
money laundering. This area of research is important for several reasons. First, the problem of
money laundering is a global problem, it occurs in both developed and developing countries, and in some cases,
money is moved across borders to be laundered. The propagation of
money laundering facilities furthers criminal activity. One of the aims of this research program is to help shed light on the mechanisms and practices used to facilitate
money laundering, with a focus on accounting techniques. Second, the research seeks to understand what happens within financial institutions, and how their systems and processes, given the tight controls, allow
money to be laundered. Third, does anti-
money-
laundering regulation deter
money laundering activity?
This research agenda has implications beyond the research community. By understanding how
money laundering strategies work, how accounting is implicated, and the impact of regulators and regulation, the research can be used to help prevent and detect
money being launderedwhich can then lead to a reduction in the crimes that generate the proceeds to be laundered.

▼ The international legal framework on
money laundering encourages states to put in
place effective systems for the identification, freezing, seizure and forfeiture of
proceeds and instrumentalities of crime. While the international legal framework
obligates countries to adopt conviction-based forfeiture (criminal forfeiture), it only
encourages them to consider adopting non-conviction based asset forfeiture (civil
forfeiture). This has led to a situation where countries, such as Malawi, adopt only
criminal forfeiture and not civil forfeiture. This study analyses the efficiency of the existing Malawian criminal forfeiture regime in curbing and preventing the proliferation of underlying profit-generating crimes and
money laundering. This thesis contends, in part, that some countries have not adopted civil forfeiture because there is no international obligation to do so. It argues that the fact that states are not obligated to adopt civil forfeiture by international legal frameworks and national arrangements undermines the deterrent aim of the anti-
money laundering and asset forfeiture systems in combating economic crimes. Some justify the casual approach to civil forfeiture by arguing that its implementation harbours the danger of violating human rights and constitutional guarantees. This thesis, however, advocates for the adoption of civil forfeiture within the limits of John Locke’s social contract theory, which guides states on how they can pursue policies and implement laws without limiting the rights of their people arbitrarily.

▼ Pinigų plovimas – tai sudėtingas procesas,
kurio esminis tikslas – iš pažiūros teisėtos kilmės nusikalstamu
būdu įgytam turtui suteikimas arba turto kilmės nuslėpimas. Bet
kokios pinigų plovimo operacijos pagrindinis tikslas yra dvilypis:
pirmiausia, yra siekiama paslėpti nusikaltimus, iš kurių yra
gaunamos pajamos, t.y. predikatinius nusikaltimus, o kai tai
pavyksta padaryti, nusikaltėliai siekia užsitikrinti, jog bus
galima naudotis tomis pajamomis savo nuožiūra. Lietuvoje
baudžiamoji atsakomybė už nusikalstamu būdu įgytų pinigų ar turto
legalizavimą arba dar kitaip vadinamą pinigų plovimą yra numatyta
BK 216 straipsnyje. Šiame darbe yra nagrinėjami pinigų plovimo
sudėties požymiai, analizuojamos problemos, kylančios nustatant ar
vertinant vienus ar kitus pinigų plovimo požymius. Siekiant kuo
išsamiau atskleisti ir paaiškinti pinigų plovimo požymius, darbe
taip pat yra nagrinėjami tarptautiniai ir Europos Sąjungos teisės
aktai, kuriuose valstybės įpareigojamos kriminalizuoti pinigų
plovimą, numatyti griežtas pinigų plovimo prevencijos priemones,
taip pat kiti tarptautiniai instrumentai, skirti kovai su pinigų
plovimu. Galiausiai, autorė siekia nustatyti ir įvertinti, ar
Lietuvos Respublikos teisės aktuose įtvirtinti pinigų plovimo
sudėties požymiai atitinka tarptautinių teisės aktų, ypač Europos
Sąjungos, privalomąsias nuostatas.
Money laundering – is a complicate process,
the primary aim of which is provision of visually legitimate origin
to the property acquired in criminal manner or suppression of
property origin. Primary aim of any money laundering operation is
dual: first, it is strived to conceal the crimes, from which the
income comes, i.e. predicate crimes, and when it is succeeded to do
that, criminals strive to ensure that it would be possible to use
this income at their own discretion. Criminal responsibility for
legalization of money or property acquired in criminal manner, or
otherwise called money laundering, in Lithuania is stipulated by an
article BK 216. This research paper analyzes the features of money
laundering contents; the problems that arise upon establishment or
evaluation of one or the other money laundering features are
analyzed. In order to unfold and explain thoroughly the features of
money laundering the research paper also examines international and
European legal acts, by which the states undertake to criminalize
money laundering, stipulate strict prevention measures of money
laundering, also other international instruments intended to fight
money laundering. Eventually, the author seeks to establish and
evaluate whether the features of money laundering contents
consolidated in legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania correspond
to the compulsory provisions of international legal acts,
especially of the European Union.

▼ The advent of technological innovation in the global financial architecture has created upturn in uncertainties and financial risks; prompting stakeholders to re-engineer their financial systems to enhance stability and security. Even though effort in such regard is underway regarding anti-money laundering policies and regulations, the threats of money laundering continue to emerge in dynamic formats. To contribute to the growing scholarly works on anti-money laundering, this study formulates four objectives to principally to identify the various AML policies adopted by commercial banks, examine the challenges impeding implementation of anti-money laundering compliance, cost of ensuring anti-money laundering in commercial banks and the impact of anti-money laundering compliance on performance of commercial banks in Ghana. The study employed quantitative research methods, survey design, descriptive approach and simple random sampling technique to sample select 40 respondents from 10 commercial banks in Ghana. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data while descriptive and regression analysis was used to analyze the field data. The study result show that the banks surveyedin this study have adopted FATF recommendations, the FIC-BoG guidelines and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (Act 749) to prevent the money laundering. The study also found that, nature of fraud and cybercrimes, lack of support from the board of directors and lack of trained and skilled personnel are the factors impeding anti-money laundering implementation among commercial banks in Ghana. The study result also show that anti-money laundering compliance positively impact bank profitability, sustainability and customer retention. On average, commercial banks spend between GHS 100,000 and GHS 500,000 to ensure AML compliance yearly. The study therefore, recommends that Bank of Ghana must task external auditors to conduct periodic auditing of the budgetary allocations of all commercial banks operating in Ghana. The BOG must ensure every bank in Ghana create AML reporting officer. Government may acquire standardized AML software for banks at subsidized prices.

▼ textabstractThere is a relationship between money laundering and anti-money laundering regime (hereinafter referred to as ‘AML-regime’). On the one hand, money laundering has significantly increased following the development of technology that offers complicated, sophisticated, and professional methods used in conducting this type of crime. On the other hand, however, the AML-regime has also been adjusted with the development of technology and the laundering techniques to counter the threat. The higher the sophistication of money laundering, the more sophisticated the AML-regime. Likewise, the more sophisticated and complete the AML-regime is, the higher the creation of innovative techniques used in laundering methods. Up to this point, the problem becomes how can or how should the AML-regime response the threat.
The present study explores the important legal issues related to the development of the AML-regime in response to the progress of money laundering practices. It examines the expansion of the AML-regime through the creation of international standards which internationalize and criminalize the acts of money laundering. The logic of these expansions counterbalance the increasingly complicated, sophisticated, and professional methods used in conducting this type of crime. Although the expansion of the regime is in essence uncontested, questions regarding the implementation and enforcement of the regime arise where varied answer are given. The implementation and enforcement of the regime includes critical legal issues that challenge the longstanding principles of sovereignty, jurisdiction, and law enforcement, ranging from its theoretical basis to practical problems.

International anti-money laundering standards and their implementation by Vietnam.

▼ 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.

▼ According to the United Nations, the amount of
money laundered worldwide each year is an estimated 2 - 5% of global GDP (equivalent to 800 billion to 2 trillion in US dollars). This is
money that criminal enterprises rely on to oper- ate. For that reason, the European Union demands that gatekeepers (banks and other obliged entities) apply measures to counteract
money laundering. Current industry state of the art anti-
money laundering (AML) techniques ultimately revolve around investigations by specialized financial investigators of suspicious behaviour. Due to the human nature of this work, this process is relatively slow and has limited capacity. Deciding in the most optimal way what financial en- tities to investigate and when is not a trivial problem. However, optimizing this sequential decision making problem could significantly decrease the time-scale in which fraudulent actors are caught. This thesis will formulate the AML problem as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Problem. It will design and imple- ment an AML model and investigate the challenges associated with optimizing it. In particular, several Partially Observable Monte-Carlo Planning based methods are proposed that exploit the combinatorial structure of the actions to overcome the challenges associated with a large action space. The methods are empirically evaluated on the AML problem and compared to a baseline solution. The results indicate that exploiting the combinatorial structure increases the performance in this problem scenario. However, it seems that exploiting the structure to the highest degree does not always lead to the best performance. Additionally, we show that the proposed methods can match or even outperform the upper bound set by the baseline solution.

▼ Money laundering is a non-violent crime, however when successfully executed it has a negative impact on society, as it tends to support other illicit activities, including terrorism. As was the case for other financial crimes, the internet opened the door for new tools that enable criminals to launder their illicit profits. One of these tools is cryptocurrency.
This paper takes the form of a literature review, in order to find the most relevant and important work within the research topic, and to identify central issues associated with laundering money through cryptocurrencies. It aims to explain the crypto-laundering process, methods and features that make cryptocurrencies tempting to criminals when searching tools to launder their illicit profits.
The findings of this literature review demonstrate that cryptocurrencies have more characteristics that appeal to launderers than deters them. The results also show the existence of different methods that are employed in crypto-laundering and how it mirrors traditional money laundering stages, making evident that crypto-laundering is a real threat. Due to these results, it is essential that the criminological community delve into financial crimes perpetrated in the online environment.

Trade Based Money Laundering : exploring the implications for international banks.

▼ Written in response to a current gap in academic and industry based literature, this thesis was written on the topic of Trade Based Money Laundering (TBML) and risk assessment, within the banking context. Despite the increased use of TBML, most academic descriptions of money laundering have used the cash based model of placement and integration of large cash deposits acquired from criminal activity, which are then merged into legitimate pre-existing funds. However, there are a significant number of examples to show that cash transferred into goods and then shipped to other countries can be easier to move and less conspicuous or traceable than simple cash based deposits. One of the main challenges for detecting shipping based laundering techniques is that they involve a number of agencies sharing data and information, in order to catch the criminals. Simple banking checks may not always elicit the required information without verification from either customs or law enforcement agencies. The research sought to identify the current challenges and issues facing risk assessment professionals in the banking sector and to identify gaps in the current systems being used. The data collected included interviews and survey information taken from professionals working on AML risk assessment in banking and financial institutions from across the globe. In addition to the description of different money laundering schemes, much of the current academic discussion on money laundering in banking has focused on the regulation requirements for financial institutions to stop money laundering activity, but there has been little empirical guidance on how regulation can be adapted and implemented at the individual banking level. This research accessed a number of legal cases available in the public domain, which were analysed to see how and where some of the larger banks have failed to implement current anti-money laundering controls and to consider how this could impact on the detection of TBML activity. This research uses an Agency theory model to look at the pressures banks are under to manage client’s accounts efficiently, versus the requirements of outside regulation to undertake extensive checks on business transactions and accounts. Finally, the researcher proposed a simple risk matrix approach that developed the current thinking of client behaviour and transaction monitoring risk analysis associated with cash based laundering, to develop a four-point risk model that added geography and third party behaviour, to account for shipping and trade based laundering activity.

▼ Money laundering is a serious crime with potentially wide ranging consequences that have numerous implications for criminological research. However, criminology rarely explores this crime, nor its potential impact on other more central crimes of interest (e.g. drug trafficking or organized crime). The present study adds to a limited body of literature examining money laundering from a criminological perspective, evaluating aspects of its regulation and social control within the banking industry. Several aspects of regulatory oversight and company dynamics such as fine/settlement size, company size, and the likelihood of non-AML/OFAC violations to predict future AML/OFAC violations were evaluated. These analyses largely supported that banking crimes, and more specifically AML violations, follow the same patterns observed within previous corporate crime research. However, the primary focus of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of industry success rankings as a form of social control as it pertains to AML violations and to determine whether or not banks that ranked well on industry rankings were also less likely to have banking violations. A variety of rankings including safety, asset-based, and overall performance measures were used to assess their relationship to bank violations, with analyses supporting that these banking industry success markers held little relationship to or acknowledgment of a firm’s previous AML/OFAC violations. Implications are discussed at length including the importance of and numerous directions for future criminological research on money laundering violation within the banking industry, suggested regulatory reforms, and the need for a wider variety and more tailored industry success measures to affect some level of social control.

▼ One of the biggest revolutions we are witnessing is in the field of
financial transactions, where efforts are being made to bring payments
to a completely electronic way. There are many benefits expected from
this step, but few are the evidence reported, especially as regards the
repercussions on
Money Laundering and Economic Growth. In this
work, I want to investigate a relationship between the increase in
electronic
money at the expense of paper
money with the trend of
money laundering with subsequent overall analysis in economic growth.
To compensate for the limited amount of data that can be obtained for a
different number of countries, and analysis composed of several
different analyzes will be carried out, examining the effects of electronic
money on some of the components of
money laundering. This ensures
the validity of the analysis. It will be seen that the results found will
confirm some previous assumptions but will open the way to new issues
since if in some ways electronic
money is at a disadvantage of
money
laundering, in other ways, there are new opportunities that open up also
for potential criminals.
