are there special protocols in the world? what secrets will we tell about just one receipt of many small payments abroad with a high degree of probability indicates the sale of drugs thousands of kilometers away from the business owner, drug control catches and imprisons pawnbrokers within the country, while the true founders of the drug pyramid. they profit every hour by putting hundreds of unknown clients in danger in the drug trafficking industry. we have identified such operations; law enforcement agencies are systematically appearing organs for processing and there are such results that indeed our suspicions were well founded in the sphere, because when he arrives, there are special forms, in fact, when he arrived you don’t yet know in what sphere, but it is assumed that this is all the economic sphere carrying out economic activities, but in the process , when you begin to study additional sources, this could be drug trafficking, for example, or operations with cryptocurrencies,

or there could be standard economic ones, such as tax evasion using various schemes first. this work is aimed at combating money laundering. it involves not only government and law enforcement agencies. well, experts who carry out financial transactions among themselves call such an anti-money laundering system; a similar mechanism exists in almost all countries. every state. it is its own, and all countries must comply with international standards in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. lead role. the fact of the development team plays here financial measures to combat money laundering. there is an organization in the world that develops recommendations for combating money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, it is called a fact, in addition to the recommendation, fat supervises how

other countries comply with its requirements , there are 40 recommendations for combating money laundering, and after the terrorist attack in the united states on september 11, nine appeared recommendations for combating the financing of terrorism. today , fat's recommendations are recognized almost all over the world. these are the foundations of economic security and stability of development of any country , it all began from the very beginning. uh, from countering drug trafficking proceeds laundering. uh. here are all the known ones. there, the drug cartels are thinking about how large countries can do this too. uh, they came up with mechanisms. yes, their law enforcement agencies. and here is the pool of large countries that are the founders of the facts, namely their experts. let's just say, some of these recommendations were developed 20 years ago . belarus only had to build its own anti-money laundering system in order to effectively counter future global

threats. and at that time i headed the banking headquarters and the structure of the banking headquarters. we had a department for control over the securities market and insurance activities, and in this department there was a division that was engaged in developing the so-called fight against illegal financial transactions. they worked closely with the financial investigations department. but, unfortunately, these isar appraisers who came to us along the line were not satisfied with the fact. uh, our explanations. e about what we have created after all, the system is in place and they came away with the conclusion that the current or established system in the republic of belarus to combat illegal income, money laundering and terrorist financing is insufficient. quite effective does not fully comply with recommendations. we were recommended to take measures to correct this situation in the near future, so

in 2003 a financial monitoring department was created in belarus under the state control committee. and with it, they begin to develop their own anti-money laundering system of complex measures aimed against money laundering and terrorist financing. the department is a center for collecting information about suspicious financial transactions. this technique works, is generally recognized by world practice and has been repeatedly evaluated at the international level. information from the financial monitoring department allows us to identify illegal activities in all areas of the economy, corruption , drug crimes, illegal migration, as well as the financing of extremism and terrorism. it was necessary to start from scratch. on the one hand, there are high requirements and expectations from financial intelligence work, and on the other hand , there is a lack of experience. the first years turned out to be intense for the young structure. already at

the end of 2004, belarus had to undergo the first international assessment of compliance with international standards in the fight against money laundering. today the anti-money laundering system of our country is ready for such exams, and then, in the process of formation, the visit of the appraisers was a real test of strength; such an assessment is carried out by a team of experts as part of this assessment, appraisers are studying, including the country's legislation, the work of the financial sector and the law enforcement block. on financial intelligence and other issues , the assessment results could have a significant impact on the operating conditions of the entire financial system. in particular, a positive assessment could contribute to an increase in credit and other ratings of belarus, and vice versa, a negative assessment reduced the financial activity of counterparties if countries do not comply. e requirements of facts. this means they can be blacklisted, blacklisted - these are special conditions for citizens of the country

and enterprises and organizations operating in this country for the transfer of funds. moreover, it is a fact that a closed club unites just over 30 countries. and it pursues its policy through a regional association; belarus is included in the eurasian group, abbreviated as yage, namely its experts in 2019. the last time antennas were evaluated by the eternal system of resumes of foreign appraisers, complete or significant compliance in practice. all recommendations in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing, including a good assessment by experts contributed to the development and growth of the economy, attracting investors and increasing the level of business confidence . the belarusian anti-money laundering system was assessed by international experts. twice in almost all directions. our country received high ratings in terms of compliance with international standards. according to unofficial estimates, we are among the top

ten anti-money laundering systems in the world . the next cycle of such assessments will begin in 2025. we have already begun preparations for them, evaluating the system by experts. they always contribute recommendations. this time they drew attention to insufficient control over the financing of non-profit organizations. international experts pointed out to us the lack of control over the activities of non-profit organizations and the well-known events of the twentieth year. in general , they confirmed that not enough work was being done in the country to prevent possible crimes in this direction. naturally they were included in our joint work. a lot of work has been done by the ministry of investments regulation relationships with these structures, if declared, relatively speaking. activities to help people with disabilities and then these

funds are used for some destructive manifestations. well, this is probably really unacceptable throughout the world. if the situation is that funds really need to be directed to the needs of sick people, well, some social issues, then our task is to prevent excessive attention to such bodies. that is, so as not to distract either organizations or law enforcement agencies. on it needs to work, the strengths of the belarusian model are especially noted; interdepartmental interaction and coordination undertaken by departments in close cooperation, both with the law enforcement block and with the finances of the organization, measures, including at the legislative level, make it possible to effectively combat such negative phenomena as the financing of terrorism, extremism, laundering criminal proceeds to investigate crimes committed in this area. helped

for years, established exchange between structures, if there are signs of fraud or money laundering financial intelligence transfers materials to law enforcement officers the fight against financial crime is impossible without common efforts. many financial intelligence investigations fail without international assistance to identify suspicious activity from abroad. i sent a request to my colleagues. the exchange takes place through the egmont group, an informal association of financial intelligence units around the world. the first message came means do you know such and such names? these are four quite famous people in the republic of belarus. do you know such and such names of accounts for which such and such a bank in europe was opened and such and such a citizen, who is an authorized representative of such and such a bank in the republic of belarus , cashed funds from these accounts and

withdrew them to an unknown direction. there was huge money there, about 20 million dollars, and , in principle, with the help of intelligence finance, that is, the country that the republic of belarus sent us a lot of time and most importantly, the people who carried out these illegal financial transactions matter all information from foreign colleagues; analysis of databases of information from banks and other sources. as a result, a complete picture of money laundering emerges. in general , the mont group today has 170 financial intelligence units around the world, and the republic of belarus has its own secure communication channel with each of these units. of course , the best way to tell about the interaction is statistics for the last 5 years in the budget of about 100 million us dollars. special interaction takes place between countries. cis illegal migration drug trafficking human trafficking behind all these

crimes there is a huge amount of money more than 10 years of financial intelligence have been participating in special operations within the framework of the csto unified state exam councils of heads of financial intelligence units of the cis countries citizens of foreign countries. cis participants who evade justice in their country carry out some kind of financial activity in the territory of other cis countries, and we monitor this activity. naturally, adjustments are being made to today's geopolitical situation. uh, the direction of our requests for information has somewhat changed the picture, but at the same time, we also see trends and tendencies that should be paid attention to from a perspective. e vulnerability in one direction or another of the movement of funds to a country to which, for example, we might not have paid attention before. well, by the way, financial intelligence analysts? this is a very narrow

specialization that is not taught at the university , but from time to time the financial monitoring department recruits the best into its team and is selected for a specialized olympics in the russian belarusian state university is a participant in the international network. and here in the field of combating the legalization of proceeds from crime, and thanks to this, we participate in the olympics on financial security that are held in the city of sochi every year. our guys take uh, some of the very first prizes there. this is not just a theory competition. and this is the olympics in which real cases are simulated. uh , the victories of our guys cannot be achieved without the help of the financial monitoring department of the state control committee

, it is the winners of the olympiad who work in the financial monitoring department. e state control committee. important for analysts. see the future clearly. but what kind of financial intelligence of any country is it should be one step ahead of those against whom the struggle is directed by creating a currency? it is only gaining momentum. we see the widespread introduction of new payment systems into the work of society. first of all, this is the digital ruble cryptocurrency. and unfortunately, not all of our governing bodies know how to deal with this work. what to do about it? naturally, they cannot determine the risks of threats that may exist in a given direction, and here our task is to help our colleagues, together with them , understand the intricacies of the weaving of financial transactions, identify the most dangerous direction and free up as much unnecessary attention as possible.

organizations. this is where we see the main work, including that is why belarus is participating in the project to create an international center for risk assessment, money laundering and financing of terrorism. financial information will be accumulated here. like the cis countries, which can be used in real time at the output, and a number of new developments, many of them are not subject to publicity, but i will lift the veil a little, for example, in the near future an updated digital service will be introduced into the work of the department, allowing to track the movement of cryptocurrencies another software product allows for a comprehensive assessment of the activities of subjects in order to identify an illegal scheme. our work is not the task of the national economic system is limited only by the statement under this abstract of operations. it is being developed to introduce measures to eliminate the conditions for committing

a crime. it will be years before we find out. what did financial intelligence do and what did financial intelligence work on these days ? the work of the department is not visible to the common man. after all , much of what happens today behind these doors is professional services. commercial and sometimes state secrets. i always knew that i would be a teacher, in general i advise you to choose it because i always i liked it.
