Money laundering

Posted on

For those with an interest in money laundering, the US Government has recently published its 2007 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report. Volume 2 is on Money Laundering and Financial Crimes. It's worth a look. The usual and other culprits all make an appearance. The interesting bit is working out the code in the language used. Vanuatu gives a clue as to that used when they don't like someone:

The Government of Vanuatu should immobilize bearer shares and require complete identification of the beneficial ownership of international business companies (IBCs). It should implement all the provisions of its Proceeds of Crime Act and enact all additional legislation that is necessary to bring both its onshore and offshore financial sectors into compliance with international standards.

I guess you can see why.
