what kind of phenomenon you are dealing with; here is a mysterious map that will not even arouse suspicion in most people. In november 2022, the daily reported that thousands of pedophiles in california served less than a year each for raping children. 365 people from this mass abused children for several months, some kidnapped babies for this. In the usa, since 2018, a theatrical production has been shown in the lower part of the state, author, playwright bruce noris, the play tells the public that pedophiles are normal people, they do not need to be condemned, every time after the play is performed, the media rises up around it positive noise, it happened last november, the newspapers burst out with laudatory reviews, the Washington Post wrote that this is simply brilliant, the attitude towards pedophiles in society, inhumane, while the authors well understand what they are doing, therefore in the annotation to their masterpiece they write that the audience may find the play offensive or will want to leave the hall in a rage. In july twenty two, the British Press reported that pedophiles from the kingdom, under the guise of philanthropists, were traveling to poland to meet with young refugees from ukraine. Hundreds of children who were evacuated from the war zone were in refugee camps without their parents. Britons previously convicted of child abuse a merciful Landing Party landed next to the kids, who had no one to protect, how it ended, one can only guess , but i dont want to do it, because its scary, take care of children, be attentive to their worries, notice mood changes, dont be lazy to live in their world, so that not to let danger into him, from childhood to draw a red thread in the consciousness of every child. The idea that his body is inviolable, and any attacks on this inviolability are a reason to inform adults about them, do not be shy ask for help when you need it, its easier to eradicate any problem in its infancy, but keep an eye on what gets into your gadgets and thoughts, there is a category of content and fantasies that cannot be a little bad, they are pure evil from the start, and with evil its easier to cope before it grows, im marina karaman and what the state is doing right now to protect our children, we figured it out, everything is clear, see you. Police, what connects terrorists, corrupt officials, drug dealers, arms dealers and people . This is dirty money. All the wellknown drug cartels there began to think about how to do this, and large countries came up with mechanisms. To launder them, there are tens of thousands of financial laundries around the world. In fact, we were opposed by such whitewashed crime, people graduated from harvard, our task is to help our colleagues and together with them understand the intricacies of Financial Transactions, one of the most secretive services in belarus the Financial Monitoring department will talk about its work. There are a number of new developments coming out, many of them not subject to scrutiny, Financial Intelligence, the secret life of money, watch right now. Now there is amons outfit and witnesses, if the door does not open in a minute, it will be hidden, in 2021 the financial police, 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, anyone could transfer money for a percentage of the transaction in. Secretly cash out any funds. In addition to Money Laundering, corrupt officials, drug dealers, and sponsors of terrorism immediately began to use this service. 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. This is just one of the Financial Intelligence units, one of the most closed structures in belarus. If we talk about the results of this work in hard numbers, then we were the entire turnover of the illegal crypto exchanger was established, which amounted to more than 60 million us dollars, all transactions and their participants were identified, their number amounted to 8,000, the defendant was given an unpaid tax from Business Activities in the amount of 9 , during the sale of operational materials, 3,000 dollars in cash were seized and during the criminal case , funds were seized both in belarusian and georgian accounts in the amount of 2 million rubles. At that time in 2021 for us it was new experience. This detention and subsequent investigation opened up a new threat and a serious danger in the future, crime increasingly took money out of shadow circulation using cryptocurrencies. Many transactions confused the tracks, and Shell Companies gave a free hand to those who wanted to hide their earnings, a new, secret life of money was approaching the world. In fact, we were confronted with such whitecollar crime, this is not the trivial crime that they do there, well, they stole somewhere, hung it up, or something else. People graduated from harvard and others universities in other foreign countries, they developed these criminal schemes, taking advantage of gaps or some kind of 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 the growth of the economy, but there are operations through which they are trying. 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 transaction. By theory of probability, it is much easier to find a needle in a haystack, but analysts are helped by smart programs and a wellfunctioning system of interaction with the socalled private sector, banks, notaries, insurance companies, and Telecom Operators over the years. The main source of information for the work 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, Telecom Operators, notaries, htp residents and other persons, their in total there are more than twenty categories, 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 reach. Years a specialist needs to analyze financial history from many sources, compare facts, these include databases of other government agencies, information from the internet or received from foreign Financial Intelligence units, and their own unique programs to help departments that allow you to analyze and compare large amounts of data. Artificial intelligence is being actively introduced into the work of Financial Intelligence. Our task is to minimize it. This requires Software Products, we are constantly improving the developments we have, 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 just to find a scheme, establish the entire criminal chain and reach organizers of gray business, many such crimes are crossborder, different cells of the criminal structure are located in different countries, the liquidation of one group will have a minor impact on the work of the criminal syndicate, we need to fight this phenomenon together, thats what Financial Intelligence services exist for, identified suspicious activity, passed it on to colleagues from countries where money is going to or from, 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 the signs we are working on, i Wont Disclose them, sorry, this is not information that should be disclosed, but for each, lets say, offense there is a certain set of signs by which we can judge what it 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, this is in the hands of the ordinary. Ordinary person, new technologies are a convenient and perfect function, almost any banking innovation is monitored and scammers. Transferring money anywhere in the world, on the one hand, simplifies our lives, on the other, increases the risk of theft and Money Laundering. According to the documents, a oneday company buys goods, but in fact simply transfers money for air, to compare the transaction with a real service is another task, for this the Financial Intelligence services of the world have a special protocol. What is the secret . Lets 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 from the owner drug control business catches and imprisons pawnbrokers within the country, while the true founder of the drug pyramid makes profit every hour, endangering hundreds of unknown clients. In the area of drug trafficking, we have identified such operations and are systematically identifying them. Security agency for processing, and there are such results that our suspicions were indeed justified, there are a lot of areas, because when a special form arrives, essentially, when it arrives, you still dont know what area it is in, but it is assumed that this is all the economic sphere, the implementation of economic activities, but in the process, when you begin to study additional sources, it could be drug trafficking, for example, or transactions 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 and Law Enforcement agencies, but also persons carrying out Financial Transactions. Between experts call such an antiMoney Laundering system. A similar mechanism exists in almost all countries. Each state has its own. Wherein. All countries must comply with international antiMoney Laundering and antiterrorist financing standards. The leading role here is played by fatw, a group that develops Financial Measures against laundering. Money. There is an organization in the world that develops recommendations on combating Money Laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. Its called fatf. In addition to recommendations, fatf monitors how other countries comply with its demands. There are 40 recommendations to combat Money Laundering, and after the terrorist attack in the United States on september 11, nine recommendations were made to combat the financing of terrorism. Todays recommendations. Recognized almost throughout the 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, all the wellknown drug cartels there began to think about how to do this, large countries came up with mechanisms, and their Law Enforcement agencies, this is the pool of large countries that are the founders of fatf, it is their experts, lets say, who develop some of these recommendations. 20 years ago, belarus only had to build its own antiMoney Laundering system in order to effectively counter future global threats. And at that time i was the head of the banking main 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 was engaged in the development finns, the socalled, were fighting 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 had created, the system still works, and they left with the conclusion that the current or established system in the republic of belarus regarding illegal income, Money Laundering and terrorist financing is not effective enough, does not fully comply with the recommendations fact. We were recommended to take measures to correct this situation in the near future, so in 2003, a Financial Monitoring department was created in belarus under the state control committee, with which it began to develop its own antiMoney Laundering system, a set of measures aimed against Financial Monitoring makes it possible to identify illegal activities in all areas economy, corruption, drug crimes, illegal migration, it was necessary to start from scratch with one on the one hand there are high demands on expectations from Financial Intelligence work, on the other hand there is 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 antiMoney Laundering system of our country is ready for such examinations, but then, in the process of formation , the visit of the evaluators was a real test of strength. This assessment is carried out by a team of expert appraisers. As part of this assessment the study includes the countrys legislation, the work of the financial sector, the Law Enforcement unit, Financial Intelligence itself and other issues. The assessment results 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, on the contrary, a negative assessment reduced the financial activity of counterparties. If countries do not comply with the requirements of the veils, then they may be blacklisted. The blacklist is special conditions for citizens of the country, to enterprises, organizations operating in this country, for the transfer of funds. At the same time, fatf, as a closed club unites just over thirty countries, pursues its policy through regional associations. Belarus is part of the Eurasian Group abbreviated as ea. It was its experts who last assessed the antiMoney Laundering system in 2019. The summary of foreign appraisers is full or significant compliance with almost all recommendations in the field of combating Money Laundering and terrorist financing. 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 antiMoney Laundering system was assessed by International Experts twice, in almost all areas, our country received high ratings in terms of compliance between. According to unofficial estimates , we are among the top ten antiMoney Laundering systems in the world. The next cycle of such assessments will begin this year, and we have already begun preparations for them. When assessing the system, experts always make their recommendations. This time they turned attention to insufficient control over the financing of nonprofit organizations. We were pointed out by International Experts that there was insufficient control over activities. And the wellknown events of the twentieth year, in general, confirmed that insufficient work was carried out in the country in terms of preventing possible crimes in this direction, and naturally, adjustments were made to our joint work, a lot of work was carried out by the ministry of justice in terms of regulating relations with by these structures, if declared conditionally speaking, actively. This is unacceptable all over the world, if the situation is that funds really need to be directed to the needs of sick people, well, some social issues, then our task is to prevent such bodies from receiving excessive attention, that is, not to distract any organizations, the organs on it do the necessary work. The strengths of the belarusian model, interdepartmental interaction and coordination were especially noted. Undertaken by the department in close cooperation with both the Law Enforcement unit and financial organizations, measures, including at the legislative level, make it possible to effectively combat such negative phenomena as the financing of terrorism, extremism, Money Laundering, investigate crimes. Years of established exchange between structures helped build such a model, if there are signs of fraud or laundering money, Financial Intelligence transfers materials to Law Enforcement officers, the fight against Financial Crime is impossible without common efforts. Many Financial Intelligence investigations fail without international assistance, identified suspicious activity from abroad, sent. A request to colleagues, the exchange takes place through the egmond group, an Informal Association of Financial Intelligence units around the world. The first message came, it means, do you know such and such names, these are four quite famous people in the republic of belarus , do you know such and such names of the accounts for which they are opened in such and such a bank europe, and such and such a citizen, who is a trustee of such and such a bank. Of the republic of belarus, cashed funds from these accounts and withdrew them in an unknown direction, there was a lot 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 money was returned to the republic of belarus, and most importantly, that these people who carried out these illegal Financial Transactions are exposed, everything matters, information from foreign colleagues, analysis of databases, information from banks and other sources, as a result, a complete picture of Money Laundering emerges. In general, the group egmond today has 170 Financial Intelligence units around the world, with each of these units the republic of belarus has its own secure communication channel. Of course, statistics tell the best story about interaction. Over the past 5 years, about 100 million us dollars have been collected into the budget. There is special interaction between countries. Cis, illegal migration, drug trafficking, human trafficking. There is a lot of money behind all these crimes. More than 10 years of Financial Intelligence involved in special operations within csto, ea, council of heads of Financial Intelligence units of the cis countries. Citizens of foreign states, cis member states, evaders, evaders from justice in their own country, carry out some kind of financial activity, the territories of other cis countries, we are monitoring this activity, naturally, todays adjustments in the geopolitical situation have somewhat changed the picture of the direction of our requests for information, but at the same time we also see trends and trends that should be followed Pay Attention from the point of view of vulnerability in one direction or another of the movement of funds to a country to which previously, for example, we might not have paid attention, but as Financial Intelligence analysts, this is a very narrow specialization, this is not taught at university, but from time to time the Financial Monitoring department recruits members to its team, the best are determined at a specialized olympiad in russia. Belarusian State University is a participant in the International Network institute in the field of combating Money Laundering obtained by criminal means. And thanks to this, we are participating in the olympiad, which is taking place on Financial Security in the city of sochi. Every year our guys occupy. From the very first prizes, this is not just an olympiad in theory, but this is an olympiad in which real cases are simulated, the victories of our guys cannot take place without the help of the Financial Monitoring department, the state control committee, it is the winners of the olympiad who work in the Financial Monitoring department of the state control committee , the main thing for. See the future clearly, but what is it like . Financial intelligence of any country must be one step ahead of those against whom the fight 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, first of all, cryptocurrencies, the digital ruble , unfortunately, not all of our governing bodies know how to work with this, what to do with it, naturally, they cannot determine the risk. Threats that may exist in this direction, and here our task is to to help colleagues and together with them 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 what we see as our main job. This is also why belarus is participating in the project to create an International Center for assessing the risks of Money Laundering and terrorist financing. It will accumulate information about Financial Intelligence of the cis countries, which can be used in real time. On a number of new developments are being released. Many of them are not subject to scrutiny, but i will lift the veil a little, for example, in the near future an updated Digital Service will be introduced into the departments work that will allow tracking the movement of cryptocurrencies, another Software Product will allow a comprehensive assessment of the activities of subjects in order to identify illegal schemes. Our work is not limited to reporting suspicious Financial Transactions. The task of the National System is to develop , implement preventive measures, eliminate conditions for committing a crime. It will be years before we find out what Financial Intelligence was doing or working on these days. The work of the department is not visible to the average person, because much of what happens behind these doors today is professional, official, commercial, and sometimes even state secret.
