[000:00:00;00] will survive the emergence of artificial intelligence, because the very concept of man will change forever, we are already seeing a future in which such a concept as a country, community, team, family, it is absent, remaining in their pseudo-civilized world at the moment, they are closing the borders from everything traditional, from all those values ​​that we are now positioning from the countries of the east, making it worse only for ourselves, in order for you to understand... modernity, you must understand the past, read it, and accordingly, learn from the mistakes of the past, how to avoid the mistakes of the future, you cannot betray three things in life, mother, you cannot betray god and you cannot betray the earth, markov’s project is nothing personal, only the truth, which is always more interesting than speculation, watch on the tv channel

belarus 24. who connects the terrorists , corrupt officials, drug, arms and human traffickers? this is dirty money. all the well-known drug cartels there thought about how to do this, large countries came up with mechanisms to launder them, there are dozens of thousands of financial laundries. in fact, we were confronted with such white-collar crime, people graduated from harvard. our task is to... financial operations, one of the most closed services in belarus, the financial monitoring department will talk about its work. the result is a number of new developments, many of them not subject to publicity, financial intelligence, the secret
7:23 pm
life of money. watch it now. now there is amon's outfit and witnesses, if the door does not open in a minute, it will be opened in 2021 the financial police of the state control committee went to the largest... crypto exchanger in the country. at that time, few people used this word in their vocabulary, and the majority did not understand at all what it meant and how exactly money was 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
7:24 pm
cryptocurrencies or vice versa: secretly cash out any funds. in addition to money laundering , such a service was immediately used by corrupt officials, drug dealers, and sponsors terrorism. law enforcement officers received the missing information about the illegal activities of the crypto exchanger from the financial monitoring department, 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 analytical work. financial intelligence unit, one of the most closed structures in belarus. if we talk about the results of this work in hard numbers, then we have established the entire turnover of the illegal crypto exchanger, which amounted to more than 60 million us dollars, were all transactions and their participants were identified, their number was 8,000. the defendants were given unpaid tax from doing business in the amount of 9.5
7:25 pm
million rubles. during the implementation of operational materials, $300,000 in cash was seized in the course of a criminal case and funds were arrested... funds located both in belarusian and georgian accounts, in the amount of 2 million rubles. at that time in 2021, it was a new experience for us. this arrest and subsequent investigation revealed a new threat and serious danger in the future, crime increasingly took money out of shadow circulation with the help of cryptocurrency. many transactions confused the traces, and shell companies gave those people a free hand. whoever wanted to hide their earnings, a new, secret life of money was approaching the world. in fact, we were confronted with such white-washed crime , this is not the trivial crime that they do there, well, they stole somewhere, hung it up or
7:26 pm
something else, people graduated from harvard and other universities in other foreign countries, they it was precisely these criminal schemes that were developed, taking advantage of gaps or some failures in our legislation. more than a million transactions are made every day in belarus alone. what is hidden behind these translations? almost all of them are legal. the sale of goods and services contributes to economic growth, but there are operations through which they try to hide illegal earnings. money is transferred from one account to another, imitating the activities of a company, in order to avoid paying taxes. the task of financial intelligence is to find a gray deal, according to theories of probability and goals... are much easier to find in a haystack, but analysts are helped by smart programs and a well-functioning system of interaction with the so-called private sector, banks, notaries, insurance companies, and telecom operators over the years. the main source of information for the work
7:27 pm
of the department are reports of suspicious financial transactions, special forms that are sent to us by persons carrying out financial transactions, these are banks, insurance and leasing companies, companies, telecom operators, notaries, htp residents and other persons, there are more than twenty categories in total, up to 400 such messages are received per day, this is somewhere around 170,000 per year , they are loaded into our database, processed further and analyzed by our specialists, but behind the simple wording there is painstaking work to leave a legacy , the specialist needs about this and databases of other government agencies, information from the internet or received from foreign financial intelligence units, to help and
7:28 pm
the department’s own unique programs that allow analysis and comparison large amounts of data. artificial intelligence is being actively introduced into the work of financial intelligence. our task is to minimize the work. we are constantly improving our existing developments, i would like to note that the vast majority of these software products are exclusive, that is, we develop them ourselves. for a financial intelligence analyst, it is important not only to find a scheme, establish the entire criminal chain and contact the organizers of gray businesses, many similar crimes cross-border, different cells of a large criminal structure, with such phenomena need to work together, that’s what financial intelligence is for, identify suspicious activity, pass it on to colleagues from the country where
7:29 pm
or where the money is going, this increases the chance of identifying the secret financial flows of criminal structures, but how to understand that this particular transaction is criminal? there are specific signs. which we are working on, i will not disclose them, sorry, this is not the information that should be disclosed, but for each, let’s say, offense there is a certain set of signs by which we we can judge what this may refer to, and already reliably establish what specific offense was committed, in any case , it will be law enforcement agencies when they check this information, it is in the hands of the average person, new technologies have a convenient and perfect function: practically for any banking innovation is monitored by fraudsters; transferring money anywhere in the world, on the one hand, simplifies our lives, on the other hand, increases the risk of theft and money laundering. according to documents, a one-day company buys
7:30 pm
goods, but in fact simply transfers money for air. comparing a transaction with a real service is another task; for this, the financial intelligence services of the world have special protocols, what is the secret? let’s talk about just one thing: the receipt of many small payments from abroad with a high degree of probability indicates the sale of drugs. thousands of kilometers away from the business owner, drug control is catching pawnbrokers within the country, while the true founder of the drug pyramid makes profit every hour, endangering hundreds of unknown clients. in the field drug trafficking, we identified such operations and systematically identify them, send them to the law enforcement agency for processing , and such results are that our suspicions were indeed justified, there are a lot of areas, because when a special form arrives, you are essentially when it arrived, not yet you don’t know in what area. it is assumed that this is all the economic sphere, the implementation of economic
7:31 pm
activities, but in the process, when you begin to study additional sources, it could be drug trafficking, for example, or operations with cryptocurrencies, or there may be standard economic ones, such as tax evasion using various schemes, first of all, such work is aimed at combating the laundering of criminal proceeds, it involves not only government agencies, but also persons carrying out financial transactions. among themselves, experts call this system anti-money laundering. a similar mechanism exists in almost all countries, each state has its own. at the same time, all countries must comply with international standards in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing. the leading role here is played by fatf, the group developing financial measures against money laundering. there is an organization in the world that develops
7:32 pm
recommendations on combating money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, it is called fatw. in addition to recommendations , fatw monitors 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 financing of terrorism. today , fatf's recommendations are almost universally accepted. world, this is the basis for economic security and stable development of any country. initially, it all started with countering the laundering of drug proceeds, so all the well-known drug cartels there thought about how to do this, large countries came up with mechanisms, and their law enforcement agencies, here is a pool of large countries that are the founders of fatf, it is their experts, let’s say, who -
7:33 pm
these... 20 years ago belarus only we had to build our own anti-money laundering system in order to effectively counter future global threats, and at that time i was heading the banking central board, and within the structure of the banking main board we had a department for control over the securities market , insurance activities, in this department there was a division that dealt with developing the so-called fight against illegal financial transactions, they worked closely with the department of financial investigations, but unfortunately, these appraisers, emissaries, who came to us through fad were not satisfied with our explanation that we have created a system after all, they left with the conclusion that the current or established system in the republic of belarus for combating illegal income, money laundering and the financing of terrorism
7:34 pm
are not effective enough, does not fully comply with the recommendations, we were advised to take measures to correct this situation in the near future, so in 2003 a financial monitoring department was created in belarus under state control committee, it begins to develop its own anti-money laundering system, a set of measures aimed against the legalization of criminal proceeds and... the financing of terrorism. the department is the center for collecting information about suspicious financial transactions. this method of work is generally recognized by world practice and has been repeatedly positively assessed at the international level. information from the finance monitoring department allows you to identify illegal activities in all areas of the economy: manifestations of corruption, drug crimes, illegal migration, as well as the financing of extremism and terrorism. it was necessary to start with a clean slate: on the one hand, there were high
7:35 pm
expectations from financial intelligence work, on the other, there was a lack of experience. the first years turned out to be eventful 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 the visit is in the process of becoming. strength test. this assessment is carried out by a team of expert appraisers. as part of this assessment , the country’s legislation and the work of the financial sector are also studied. assessments 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 other credit ratings of belarus and , conversely, a negative assessment reduced the financial
7:36 pm
activity of counterparties. if countries do not comply with the requirements, then they may be blacklisted. the blacklist is special. conditions for citizens of the country, for enterprises, organizations operating in this country, for the transfer of funds. at the same time , fatw, as a closed club, unites just over thirty countries and pursues its policies through regional associations. belarus is part of the eurasian group, abbreviated as ea. it was its experts who last assessed the anti-money laundering system in 2019. the resume of foreign appraisers is complete or significant. compliance with almost all recommendations in the field of combating money laundering and financing 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
7:37 pm
by international experts twice; in almost all areas, 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, and we have already begun preparing for them. evaluating system, experts always make their recommendations, this time they drew attention to insufficient control over the financing of non-profit organizations. international experts pointed out to us that there is insufficient control over the activities of non-profit organizations. and the well-known events of the twentieth year, in general , confirmed that insufficient work was being done in the country in terms of preventing possible crimes in this direction, and naturally, adjustments were made to our
7:38 pm
joint work, a lot of work was carried out by the ministry of justice in terms of regulating relations with these structures, if, relatively speaking, assistance activities are declared for and then these funds are used for some destructive manifestations, well, probably, indeed , this is unacceptable all over the world if the situation is that the funds are really needed to address the needs of sick people, well, some social issues, then our task is to prevent excessive attention from such bodies, that is, not to distract either organizations or law enforcement agencies from unnecessary. the strengths of the belarusian model, interdepartmental interaction and coordination were especially noted. the efforts undertaken by the department in close cooperation with both the law enforcement unit and financial organizations, including at the legislative level, make it possible to effectively combat such negative phenomena as
7:39 pm
the financing of terrorism, extremism, money laundering, and to investigate crimes committed in this area. years of established exchange between structures, if any, helped build such a model signs of fraud or money laundering, financial intelligence transmits materials to law enforcement, the fight against financial crime is impossible without joint efforts. many financial intelligence investigations do not proceed without international assistance, identified suspicious activity from abroad, sent a request to colleagues, the exchange proceeds through the egmont group, an informal association of financial intelligence units around the world. the first message arrived, so do you know such and such names? these are quite famous people in the republic of belarus four person, do you know such and such names, accounts for which are opened in such
7:40 pm
and such a bank in europe, and such and such a citizen, who is an authorized representative of such and such a bank in the republic of belarus, cashed funds with these accounts and transferred them to an unknown direction, there was a huge amount of money there, about 20 million dollars, in principle, with the help of the financial intelligence of the country that was sent to us, a lot of funds were returned to the republic of belarus, and the most important thing is that these people, who carried out these illegal financial transactions, everything matters, information from foreign colleagues, analysis of databases, information from banks and other sources, the result is a complete picture of money laundering. in general, the egmond group today counts that there are 70 financial intelligence units in the world , with each of these the republic of belarus has its own secure communication channel. of course, the best way to tell about the interaction is
7:41 pm
statistics: over the past 5 years, 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 lot of money, more than 10 years of financial intelligence have been participating in special operations within the framework of the csto and ag, the council of heads of the financial intelligence units of the cis countries. citizens of foreign countries, cis member states, evaders, evaders from justice in their country, carry out some kind of financial activity in the territory of other cis countries, we monitor this activity, of course, adjustments today's geopolitical situation, the geopolitical situation, has somewhat changed the picture, the directions of our requests for obtaining... information, but at the same time we also see trends and tendencies that should be paid attention to from the point of view
7:42 pm
of vulnerability in one direction or another of the movement of funds in a country that we might not have paid attention to before, for example. but how to become financial intelligence analysts is a very narrow specialization, they don’t teach this at university, but from time to time the financial monitoring department recruits to join their team, the best are selected at a specialized olympiad. the belarusian state university is a participant in the international network institute in the field of combating the legalization of proceeds from crime and thanks to this we participate in the olympiad on financial security in the city of sochi, every year our guys take one of the very first prizes there. this is not just an olympiad in theory, but an olympiad in
7:43 pm
which real cases are simulated; the victories of our guys cannot take place without help department of financial monitoring of the state control committee, it is the winners of the olympiad who work in the department of financial monitoring of the state control committee. the main thing for analysts is to clearly see the future, but what kind of financial intelligence of any country is it should be one step ahead of those against whom the struggle is directed, with the creation of cryptocurrencies, it is only gaining momentum. we see the widespread introduction of new payment systems into the work of society, primarily cryptocurrency, digital ruble, unfortunately, not all of our governing bodies know how to work with this, what to do with it, naturally, they cannot identify risks, threats that can... and here our task is to help colleagues and together with them
7:44 pm
, understand the intricacies of financial transactions, identify the most dangerous directions and free up respectable citizens and respectable organizations as much as possible from unnecessary attention. this is where we see the main work. this is also why belarus is participating in the project to create international. assessing the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing. it will accumulate financial intelligence information from the cis countries, which can be used in real time. there are a number of new developments coming out, many of them are not subject to public scrutiny, but i will lift the veil a little, for example, in the near future an updated digital service will be introduced into the department’s work, which will allow tracking the movement of cryptocurrencies. another software product will allow for a comprehensive assessment of the activities of subjects in order to identify illegal schemes. our work is not
7:45 pm
limited to reporting suspicious financial transactions. the task of the national system is to develop and implement preventive measures, to eliminate the conditions for committing a crime. it will be years before we find out what financial intelligence was doing or working on these days. to the common man. the work of the department is not visible, because much of what happens behind these doors today is professional, official, commercial, and sometimes state secret. we participate in exhibitions for... to to show what we produce , an exhibition is a colossal expense, so the payback here is always prolonged
7:46 pm
, but at the same time, yekaterinburg showed that we are partners as a country, the work began with us in advance, contracts were signed for almost more than $280 million , contracts are also being signed and signed in uzbekistan, we had a small exposition there, but contracts worth 300,000 dollars were signed, we are organizing an exhibition in mongolia in the near future, this is already our second exposition, it will be small, we will also present in syria companies that are engaged in dairy production, including industrial enterprises, and we will also have exhibitions in uzbekistan, egypt, an exhibition is being worked on in tbilis in georgia, and of course, a large exhibition, the second this year in terms of volume, is in shanghai , the chinese import exhibition, which traditionally takes place from november 5 to 10, we already have about 50 companies there that are going to participate, we are already conducting
7:47 pm
work with the countries of the middle east, directly for the first half of the year. this is the same frame, saudi arabia, the arab emirates, where today belarusian products are very interesting and there is great interest, at least from visitors, but we choose exhibitions where not only one side, but where at least 5-7 countries, in order to represent as much as possible on one platform for those who participate, and to exchange experiences, so a plan is being formed next year and it will probably be no less active, of course, which causes certain difficulties - this is participation in events in african countries, although this year we held in algeria , we held in zimbabwe, now an exhibition is being prepared in egypt , well, next year, of course, the countries of africa, asia and of course, the cis and russian regions, our food producers are popular , everything, not only milk, but also confectionery products, and of course
7:48 pm
dairy-famous cheeses, meat products, there is always the greatest interest in them... they are in great demand, i remember at an exhibition in may in china, which was just did take place in in shanghai, where food products were presented, some of the belarusian stands were sold out, all the bloggers gathered, that zhelikprom, the inoprom exhibition was industrial, but the furor that fashion collections and fashion shows from our belarusian manufacturers made was at many participants’ stands, and there were governors there, there were also heads of large russian and foreign state corporations, they simply aroused genuine interest that this was a belarusian production and half of it was ready to buy, and of course the industry,
7:49 pm
an industry that today is not inferior to world brands, and today it is actively shown and sold, a review of the most important sporting events, the new head coach of the national team, carlos allas ferr, named an expanded list of players for the september qualifying matches for the european championship 2024. two gold, silver and three bronze . this is the result of the belarusian wrestlers at the world youth championships, which was hosted by jordan. exclusive interviews with athletes. tell me, this result is 10:92, you repeated and surpassed in training process? well, i was ready to show it faster than a second. exactly there in athens? yes, if only. it was one run, not four. bright moments , real emotions. thousands of fans came to celebrate the spanish women's team, which won the world cup. the impressions are only positive, one of the most spectacular, one of the most exciting sports. all this is in sports projects on the belarus 24 tv channel. young interviewers ask bold,
