Download or read book The Black Market Peso Exchange a Complex Form of Money Laundering written by Romy R. Franklin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Market Peso Exchange (BMPE) is a complex form of money laundering that deals in currency exchange. It affects the United States (U.S.) daily. With the BMPE, drug money from the U.S. is converted into Columbian pesos, and large amounts of bulk cash get smuggled across the U.S. border and the final destination of that money can be anywhere, with an intended purpose to harm those who live in the U.S. The U.S. has enacted tough anti-money laundering laws to fight money laundering in general and the BMPE, specifically. These laws outline strict reporting requirements to detect and catch money launderers. The U.S. is not the only country fighting to stop this money laundering scheme; the international community has joined the U.S. in combating the BMPE by enacting anti-money laundering laws in their own countries, and the research findings propose that although the U.S. and other members of the international community have made progress in the fight against money-laundering, there is still quite a bit to accomplish to further detect, report, and investigate BMPE cases. Many countries in the international community are battling corruption within their own governments, making it difficult to combat the illegal money laundering scams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist organization based in Lebanon, is expanding its reach into the Western Hemisphere via a deepening involvement in the South American drug trafficking industry and the Black Market Peso Exchange (BMPE) money laundering system that is endemic to the drug trade. The BMPE is a complex form of trade-based money laundering utilized by Colombian drug trafficking organizations to launder drug money and repatriate proceeds by disguising and embedding illegal activities in legitimate international trade and finance. The BMPE provides Hezbollah with hundreds of millions of dollars for funding of its global operations and presents a growing risk to American interests as Hezbollah is regarded as the world's premier terrorist organization and is a proxy for the anti-American regime in Iran that is forging relationships with Latin American elements based on common anti-U.S. goals.

Download or read book Money Laundering and Illicit Financial Flows written by John a Cassara and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside of crimes of passion, criminals, criminal organizations, kleptocrats, and some businesses and corporations are motivated by greed. In today's increasingly interconnected world, the criminal manifestations of unchecked avarice impact all of us - politically, socially, economically, and culturally. Transnational crime effects our individual and collective security. The magnitude of crime is measured in the multi-trillions of dollars annually. Laundering or hiding and disguising the proceeds of crime is essential for criminal organizations. Unfortunately, the last thirty years have demonstrated that our anti-money laundering (AML) countermeasures are not effective. Examining the "metrics that matter," we are a "decimal point away from total failure." The outlook going forward is not promising. Money Laundering and Illicit Financial Flows - Following the Money and Value Trails is the first book to take a hard look at our AML track record. Written primarily from a law enforcement perspective, the book examines old and new money laundering methodologies. It exposes threats, enablers, and facilitators. Making the case for an AML paradigm shift, the book offers alternative steps forward. Combining facts, straight-forward explanations, case studies, as well as the author's personal experiences, views and commentary, this book is valuable to the public and private sectors, policy makers, as well as students and concerned citizens. As a former Treasury Special Agent, John Cassara has investigated and studied money laundering for over 30 years. Equally at home in back streets or government bureaucracies, he has a unique perspective and offers an insider's knowledge. He delights in telling it as it is. The author of five books and countless articles on money laundering and threat finance, Cassara continues to surface important issues that deserve our attention.
