MONEY LAUNDERING:
A Global Threat and the International Community=s Response
By William R. Schroeder, FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, May 2001, pp. 1 – 7.
INTRODUCTION
A new era of globalization has emerged, and it is shrinking the world and shaping domestic politics and international relationships.1 Globalization involves the international integration of capital, technology, and information in a manner resulting in a single global market and, to some degree, a global village.2 This integration enables individuals and corporations to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper, and cheaper than ever before. However, the same aspects of globalization that have expanded opportunities fro free-market capitalism also have resulted in new risks. Globalization has turned the international financial system into a money launderer=s dream, siphoning off billions of dollars a year from economies around the world and extending the reach of organized crime. This unintended consequence of globalization presents a serious challenge to law enforcement agencies and financial regulators.
Because globalization represents an overarching international phenomenon, the international community=s response to the challenge posed by money laundering has to address the financial, legal, and enforcement issues in a universal manner, through harmonization of remedies. Understanding the global threat of money laundering and the international community=s response will assist investigators pursuing the evidentiary trail of a launderer by identifying the enforcement tools and techniques developed to overcome obstacles encountered when crossing international boundaries.
