FBI Money Laundering

FBI Money Laundering The Justice Department defines money laundering as the process criminals use to conceal and disguise illicit proceeds—converting unlawful money and criminal profits into legitimate goods and services—giving them legitimacy and economic power. Infusing illegal profits into the nation’s stream of commerce corrupts “not” only financial institutions, but the nation’s money supply and, ultimately, the country’s democratic system of government—giving criminals unchecked influence. Accordingly, members whose background also includes FBI Money Laundering can be a great asset to someone looking for an investigator and/or needing an expert concerning concealing money and financial assets.

Historically speaking, the FBI has utilized a proactive approach pursuing money laundering violations using the asset forfeiture statute to seize illicit profits converted into legitimate goods and services. Predicating these investigations, agents must first identify the unlawful activity involved generating the illicit proceeds, making sure a crime is covered by the statute, and once satisfied, a parallel financial investigation can be opened to locate and seize the illegal proceeds.

Recognizing illicit proceeds are a continuing and growing problem in the nation’s economy, the FBI has created the Asset Forfeiture/Money Laundering Unit (AF/MLU) to identify, target, disrupt, and dismantle criminal and terrorist organizations and individuals engaged in money laundering schemes. The unit proactively encourages agents to use the statute whenever investigators suspect money laundering involving a known criminal enterprise. Additionally, the Justice Department also sponsors the Money Laundering National SAR Review Initiative responsible for targeting schemes that transcend national borders using multi-agency approaches and resources to consider cases for investigation/prosecution.

Using the Asset Forfeiture/Money Laundering Unit to seize illicit proceeds, law enforcement officials are convinced the statute takes the profit out of crime—deterring future criminal activity. And as another benefit of the program, recovered property can also be used to compensate victims, as well as shared with state and local law enforcement agencies to help alleviate funding problems.

Through FY 2011, the FBI said agents and analysts investigated 303 cases involving Money Laundering violations returning 37 indictments, securing 45 convictions, $18.4 million in restitution, $809,414 in recoveries, and $983,536 in fines.
