Webinar details:

Money laundering – the process of making illegally-gained proceeds ("dirty money") appear legal ("clean") – is more than a financial crime. It is a tool that makes all other crimes possible – from drug trafficking to political crimes. In several legal and regulatory systems, however, the term money laundering has been extended to other forms of financial and business crimes; and is sometimes used more generally to include the misuse of the financial system (involving things such as securities, digital currencies, credit cards, and traditional currency) – including terrorism financing and evasion of international sanctions. The unfortunate reality is that it is not only the dubious banks in less regulated countries that make money laundering possible; but also the banks in supposedly highly regulated countries. Along with the traditional money laundering schemes facilitated by the traditional banks, the cryptocurrency industry (bitcoins) has also been criticized for being a tool for money laundering.  This presentation will outline the various traditional and digital money laundering schemes; and provide key lessons for bankers and finance professionals in implementing anti-money laundering legislation.
