[000:00:00;00] take care of your information for logging into internet banking, this is your golden key and its secret does not concern anyone but you, and if you are not afraid to reveal the secret of your golden key to strangers on the internet, then you definitely should not be afraid that this secret will turn out to be in the hands of the state, which spends millions to create a system capable of protecting us and our money from our own naivety. i’m marina karamany, what is the state doing to protect the property of belarusians,

we’ve figured it all out, it’s clear. see you. what connects terrorists and corrupt officials drug dealers, weapons and people, this is dirty money, thinking about how to do this, large countries have come up with mechanisms to launder it, there are tens of thousands of financial laundries

of crime all over the world. people were finishing one of the most closed departments in belarus. now there is a squad, riot police and witnesses here. if the door does not open in a minute, it will be opened in 2021. the financial police of the state control committee have reached the largest crypto exchange in the country. at that

time, few people used this word in their vocabulary, but the majority did not understand at all. what does this mean and exactly how money is laundered and hidden through digital tokens. the service worked anonymously; its clients did not need to give their data; for a percentage of the transaction, anyone could transfer money to cryptocurrency or vice versa. the secret of cashing out any funds, in addition to money laundering , corrupt officials, drug dealers and sponsors of terrorism immediately began to use this service; law enforcement officers received the missing information about the illegal activities of the crypto exchanger from the department financial monitoring. which made it possible to identify the entire chain of criminal activities and bring the perpetrators to justice, and this is just one example of the analytical work

of financial intelligence units of one of the most closed structures in belarus, if we talk about the results of this work with dry figures , then we would have established the turnover of an illegal crypto exchanger here , which amounted to more than 60 million dollars. in the usa , all transactions were identified and their number of participants was 8,000, and the person involved was unpaid tax from entrepreneurial activities would be charged in the amount of 9.5 million rubles. and during the implementation of operational materials, e 300,000 was seized, and dollars in cash, and during the criminal case a , funds located both in belarusian and georgian accounts were seized in the amount of 2 million rubles. for that period in 2021. and for us it was a new experience. this detention and the subsequent investigation revealed a new threat and a serious danger in

the future, crime increasingly siphoned off money from the shadow circulation, with the help of cryptocurrency , many transactions confused the traces, and front companies gave a free hand to those who wanted to hide their earnings . a new secret life of money was approaching the world, in fact, we were confronted with such a white one. spring crime. it is not trivial crime that is taking place there. well, somewhere they stole fun or something else, people’s orders, they graduated from harvard and other universities in other foreign countries, and they developed it. these criminal schemes took advantage of spaces or uh. somehow due to failures in our legislation , more than a million transactions are made every day in belarus alone, which is hidden behind these transfers. and all of them are legal, the sale of goods and services contributes to the growth of the economy, but there is an operation through which they try to hide illegal earnings, money is transferred from one account to another,

simulating the activities of the company. to avoid paying taxes, the task of financial intelligence is to find a gray transaction on theory of probability , it’s much easier to find a needle in a haystack, but smart analysts help programs and a well-established system of interaction with the so-called private sector over the years, banks, notaries, insurance companies, telecom operators, the main source of information for working with the department is reporting suspicious financial transactions , special forms that are sent to us by persons carrying out financial transactions. these are banks, insurance leasing companies , telecom operators, notaries and pvt residents and other persons. there are more than 20 categories in total . up to 400 such messages are received per day. this

somewhere around 170,000 per year. they are loaded into our database, processed later and analyzed by our specialists, but behind the simple wording there is painstaking work ; in order to get on the trail, a specialist needs to analyze the financial history from many sources, compare the facts of this database of other government agencies with information from the internet or received from foreign financial intelligence units in assistance and the department’s own unique programs that allow you to analyze and compare large amounts of data in artificial intelligence is being actively introduced into the work of financial intelligence. our task is to minimize the work of law enforcement agencies in order to remove the software products needed for this. we are constantly making improvements to the developments that we have. i would like to note that absolutely most of these software products are exclusive, that is, we ourselves develop them for financial analysts. it is important not just to find a scheme

to establish the entire criminal chain and contact the organizers of the gray business. many similar crimes, cross-border, different cells of a large criminal structure are located in different countries, liquidation of one group. will have little impact on the work of the crime syndicate to fight. with such a phenomenon, we need to work together for this and there are financial intelligence agencies that identified suspicious activity and passed it on to colleagues from the country. where or where does the money go? this increases the chance of identifying the secret financial flows of criminal structures. but how to understand? what exactly is this criminal transaction, uh, specific signs that we are working on, i won’t disclose them, because sorry, this is not information that should be disclosed, but for everyone we will say. so offences. there is a certain set of signs by which we can judge. but this may apply, but it has already

been reliably established. eh, what exactly was the offense in any case, it will be the law enforcement agencies. when they check this information, it is in the hands of the average person that new technologies, convenient and perfect functions are monitored by almost any banking innovation and scammers on the one hand, transferring money anywhere in the world simplifies our lives. on the other hand, it increases the risk of theft and money laundering based on documents; a fly-by-night company buys goods, but in fact simply transfers money for air; to compare the transaction with real services is another task for financial services. is there really a special protocol in the world? what secrets will we tell you about just one thing? the receipt of many small payments and abroad most likely indicates the sale of drugs thousands of kilometers from the business owner drug control catches and imprisons pawnbrokers within the country, while the true ones. single pyramid schemes

make profits every hour by putting hundreds of unknown clients in danger in the drug trafficking industry. we have identified such operations , we systematically identify them, we send law enforcement agencies to work on them, and there are such results that our suspicions were indeed justified in the area very much, because when special forms arrive. basically, when he came , you still don’t know in what area he is supposed to be, that it’s all economic the sphere of economic activity, but in the process, when you begin to study additional sources, it could be drug trafficking, for example, or, uh, transactions with cryptocurrencies, or it could be standard economic ones, such as tax evasion using various schemes in the first place. this work is aimed at combating money laundering. they are involved in it. not just government law enforcement agencies. well, those who carry out financial activities. among themselves , experts call such a system

a similar anti-money laundering mechanism exists in almost all countries. every state. it is its own, and all countries must play a leading role in complying with international standards in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. this is where the fact of the financial action task force comes into play. there is an organization in the world that develops recommendations on combating money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, it is called a fact in addition to recommendations. fat supervises how other countries comply with its requirements ; there are 40 recommendations to combat money laundering, and after the terrorist attack in the united states on september 11, nine recommendations appeared to combat the financing of terrorism. today , fat's recommendations are recognized almost all over the world. these are the foundations of economic security and stable development of any country.

initially it all started. uh, anti- money laundering. uh. here are all the known ones. there , the drug cartels are thinking about how large countries can do this too. eh, they came up with mechanisms. yes their law enforcement agencies. and here is a pool of large countries whose founders are their experts. let's just say, some of these are being developed 20 years ago, belarus just 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 the development of finn's so-called this is the fight against illegal financial transactions. they worked closely with

the financial investigations department. well, unfortunately, these evaluators and worlds who came to us through the line were satisfied, and our explanation was that we have created a system after all, and they left with the conclusion that the current or established system in the republic of belarus for wrestling with illicit proceeds, money laundering and terrorist financing insufficient. quite effective does not fully comply with recommendations. we were it was recommended to take measures to correct this situation in the near future; thus , in 2003, a financial monitoring department was created in belarus under the state control committee. and with it , its own anti-money laundering system begins to be developed, a set of measures aimed against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. the department is a center for collecting information on suspicious financial transactions. this

technique works, is generally recognized as world practice and has already repeatedly put 17 on international level. information from the financial monitoring department makes it possible 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 year turned out to be busy for the young structure already at the end of 2004. belarus had to undergo the first international assessment of compliance with world standards in the fight against money laundering. today, our country’s anti-money laundering system is ready for such examinations. and then , in the process of formation, the visit of appraisers was a real test of strength. such an assessment is carried out by a team of expert

appraisers. as part of this assessment, the country’s legislation is studied, including the work of the financial sector of 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, positive the assessment could contribute to an increase in credit and other ratings of belarus and , conversely, a negative one reduced the financial activity of counterparties. if countries don't comply. eh, the requirements are fact. this means they can be blacklisted. the blacklist is special conditions for citizens of the country , 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 part of the eurasian group, abbreviated as yage. experts in 2019. the last time

the anti-ethnic system of resumes of foreign appraisers was assessed was complete or significant compliance in practice. all recommendations in the field of combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism, 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 in the top ten. the next cycle of such assessments will begin in the year 25 of the world's anti-money laundering systems. we have already started preparing for them by evaluating the system. experts. they always make their recommendations. this time they drew attention to insufficient control over the financing of non-profit organizations. it was pointed out by international experts that

there is insufficient control over the activities of non-profit organizations. and uh, well-known events of the twentieth year, in general confirmed that there was not enough in the country, work was carried out to prevent possible crimes in this direction and , naturally, adjustments were made to our joint work. much of the work was reviewed by the ministry of justice. happiness is the regulation of relationships with these structures, if we declare relatively speaking, but activities to provide assistance to 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 the means we really need to focus on the needs of sick people. well, some social issues, then our task is to prevent unnecessary attention to such bodies.

that is, so as not to distract either organizations or law enforcement agencies. it is necessary to work on it, especially the strengths of the belarusian model, interdepartmental interaction and coordination undertaken by departments in close cooperation, both with the law enforcement block and with the financial organization of measures, including at the legislative level, allows for effective combat such negative phenomena as the financing of terrorism, extremism , laundering of criminal proceeds, and investigate crimes committed in this area. this model has helped over the years, an 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

have identified suspicious activity due to milestone. i sent a request to my colleagues, the exchange takes place through the egmond group, an informal association of financial intelligence units around the world. the first message arrived, it means, do you know such and such surnames? these are quite famous people in the republic of belarus - 4 people. do you know such and such names of accounts in 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 person direction. there were huge money, about 20 million dollars, and, in principle, with the help of financial intelligence , that is, the country that sent us a lot of money was returned to the republic of belarus and, most importantly, the people who carried out these illegal financial

transactions, all information about foreign colleagues is important analysis of databases of information from banks and other sources , resulting in a complete picture of money laundering. in general, the mont group today has 170 financial intelligence units in the world and with each of these divisions of the republic of belarus have their own secure communication channel. 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 the cis countries: 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 csto unified state exam councils of heads of financial intelligence units of cis countries foreign citizens states 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 we should pay attention to from a perspective. e vulnerability in one direction or another of the movement of funds into the country, in which, for example, we might not have paid attention to before. well, by the way, financial intelligence analysts? this is a very narrow specialization, this is not taught at the university , but from time to time the financial monitoring department recruits the best for its team ; they determine at the specialized olympics in russia, the russian state university is a participant, and the international network. and here in the field of combating

the legalization of proceeds from crime, and thanks to this, we are participating in the olympics, which is held under financial security in the city of sochi annually. 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 olympiads who work in the financial monitoring department. e state control committee. important for analysts. see the future clearly. but what is financial intelligence of any country like? must be one step ahead of those against whom the struggle is directed by the creation of who 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 work with this. what to do about it? naturally, they cannot determine the threat risks that may exist in a given direction. here our task is to help our colleagues and together with them understand the intricacies of weaving financial operations to identify the most dangerous direction and maximize freedom. this is not the necessary attention, the second decent citizen, or decent organizations, this is what we see as the main work, including this is why belarusians are participating in the project to create an international center for risk assessment, money laundering and terrorist financing. financial information will be accumulated here. this cis countries which can be used in real time

will result in 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, which will allow tracking the movement of cryptocurrencies; another software product will allow a comprehensive assessment of the activities of subjects in order to declare an illegal scheme. our work is not limited to just reporting suspicious financial transactions to the national economic system. it is being developed to introduce ghost measures to eliminate the conditions for committing a crime it will be years before we know. what financial intelligence was doing and what financial intelligence was working on these days is not visible to the common man in the office. after all, much of what happens today behind these doors is professional services. commercial and

sometimes state secrets. belarus is an amazing country with its interesting past full of legends and traditions, look what a curious little thing. i found. it's not just a piece of iron sticking out walls. this is a polish geodetic sign in belarus. i saw a couple of pieces of rich cultural heritage and hospitable people. i wish i could put on a luxurious floor-length dress now and turn my head to the sounds of this ancient piano from the country century. and don’t even ask what to dance, of course, it’s a country with interesting tourist spots and unique attractions. personally , i have the feeling that this is some kind of watchtower and all around. it begs for such powerful fortress walls. and this is

the same boulder that is popular among the people. god's stone, if you believe history, this stone has been worshiped since ancient times and not only local residents come here to visit it, but also residents from nearby areas travel with us to belarus 24. the phenomenon of folk art of belarusians, we will learn what naive art is and see the largest collection of painted carpets in our country welcome to the only museum in belarus. watch this weekend on
