Money Laundering Money laundering (ML) generally occurs in connection with some other type of unlawful activity and crosses all Cleveland FBI investigative programs, including white collar crime, drugs, violent crime, terrorism, and national security. Money laundering is a process or series of actions through which income if illegal origin is concealed, disguised or made to appear legitimate to evade detection, prosecution, seizure and taxation. Illicit proceeds must be laundered to make it appear as though the funds were generated through some legitimate means. This allows criminals to enjoy the "fruits" of their criminal activity without raising suspicion. Money laundering represents a significant threat to the United States and its financial infrastructure because of its magnitude, as well as its tendency to corrupt individuals and financial systems. In effect, almost every crime involving money violates the ML statutes. The threat to the United States is increased because the trans-national nature of money laundering complicates money launderings discovery and subsequent investigation. In addition, successful money laundering facilitates and encourages the underlying criminal activity.

Extractions: Follow the trail of one company's hypothetical E-mail message: A rogue partner fires off a flaming E-mail message to the company's administrator describing a staff member as "that old F-rt whose time has definitely come." In this instance, the E-mail system was configured to store copies of outgoing messages on the sender's hard drive as well as the file server. In addition, when a message was read by the addressee, it was automatically save to the addressee's machine until purposely deleted. The message, residing on the server, was swept into a monthly backup, where it was stored on a backup tape for a year. Luckily, the sender did not make use of the E-mail's broadcast feature, but even so, the disastrous message was now in at least four locations. One of the file copies was found, produced during discovery and presented to a jury in an age discrimination action. The above case illustrates the pitfalls of E-mail. It is just as likely that a key piece of evidence could have been located within a long "destroyed" memo, or perhaps in a note to the file that was backed up and preserved on tape.

Extractions: This means that for almost every data file created (e.g., a WordPerfect, or MS Word file), you will have at least one other copy of the file somewhere on the system (e.g., the ubiquitous BKI or BAK file). Routine backup procedures generate yet more copies, and individual users may have their own ad hoc backup procedures. More disturbing still is the fact that electronic data, even when erased, can usually be recovered. A command to "delete" a file will not destroy the file's contentsonly the file index (File Allocation Table, or FAT) is changed. Imagine a drawer filled with labeled file folders. Removing a file label makes the locating difficult. However, the folder itself remains intact, in the drawer...awaiting its discovery by a determined investigator.

Furthermore, they perceive a low risk of being caught and punished under an elaborate network of different legislative systems, which are easier to dodge than a judicial complex set up for a single nation State. Economic and financial crime has become a serious and growing threat. High priority is being given to tackling the problem. The Member States of the European Union have identified the fight against financial crime (money-laundering, corruption, euro counterfeiting, counterfeiting of goods, trafficking in high-value goods and serious economic crime) as a top priority. How does the European Union fight corruption?

Extractions: Counterfeit money Other fraud offences The unit is divided into three central components - Commercial Crime, Fraud and Technological Crimes. Commercial Crime detectives focus on white collar crime Commerical Crime detectives investigate counterfeiting operations, economic crime and environmental crime. These detectives investigate significant economic or "white collar" crime. The offences investigated are complex, often requiring the auditing of financial, business or personnel records. The complexity of many of these cases often results in the need for a forensic audit by an accounting firm to completely unravel the intricacies of the deception. The losses attributed to these types of fraud cases can reach multi-million dollar levels. It is not unusual for these investigations to take years to complete. Commercial Crime detectives also specialize in the investigation of environmental crimes, proceeds of crime investigations, counterfeit money, and organized financial crime. They work closely with various government agencies to investigate environmental offences and with the Federal Treasury on counterfeiting cases.

Fraud Overview Serious and organised criminal involvement in fraud 5.2 Frauds vary considerably in sophistication. Some demand financial or legal expertise, while others are simple to execute. Technical complexity is not a reliable guide to the money to be made from a particular fraud, nor to the involvement of serious and organised criminals, and many significant frauds are the work of individuals operating alone or in small groups and who do not fit the generally accepted profile of serious and organised criminals. Logistically complex frauds that require a criminal infrastructure in order to work effectively, for example excise frauds that involve smuggling goods into the UK, do draw the more serious and organised criminals, since they have the necessary capabilities, established networks and contacts. 5.3 Some hands-on serious and organised criminals become involved in white-collar frauds, for example frauds involving the misuse of trusts or the manipulation of company accounts or shares. They may be introduced to the possibility of such frauds through the contacts they form with businessmen and professionals in order to launder their criminal proceeds, or they may identify them themselves while researching and conducting other criminal activities. Involvement in white collar frauds can indicate that a serious and organised criminal group is maturing and attempting to move to more outwardly legitimate activity. However, serious and organised criminals involved in trafficking goods or armed robbery have used white collar frauds both to make money and as a way of laundering money made from these other crimes, which they have continued to commit.
Extractions: WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL DEFENSE Criminal Investigations An individual or entity may come under criminal investigation by the IRS or FBI. The agent conducting a criminal financial investigation is a Special Agent assigned to the IRS' Criminal Investigation Division. The purpose of the investigation is to charge the taxpayer with a crime, be found guilty, go to jail and pay a fine. Civil penalties and additional tax will be sought by the IRS after the criminal investigation has concluded. TIP: Do not make any statements to the Special Agent. You have the right to remain silent, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Simply advise the agent you will retain an attorney, who will contact the agent. Sometimes the Criminal Investigator indicates that the case will go "faster" and easier if you cooperate. However, having the case proceed "faster" and smoother are not always in your best interest, to say the least. You may cooperate but it should be through a competent attorney knowledgeable in handling IRS Criminal Investigations.

Extractions: A Law Unto Themselves? White Collar Crime, the Police and Corruption in Hungary, Part Two Part 1 of this article Guszt¡v Kosztol¡nyi The police officer was then head of the intelligence-gathering group within the local force. He and his men visited F¼zesgyarmat in the morning as part of an investigation into a series of car break-ins. They stumbled upon ten railway container cars from which a petroleum product was being transferred into the on-site fuel tanks. According to the bill of lading, the product was designated as "miscellaneous fuel oil", originating from Slovnaft in Slovakia. At the same time, a different, unspecified product was being siphoned back into the railway tanker cars. The results of customs officials' laboratory analysis later showed that a form of acid treatment was being employed here together with mixing to create an end product similar to diesel oil from substances to which a low rate of taxation applied. When the perpetrators were caught in the act, their documents as well as the suspect product were at hand. Mr Karancsi recalls that, on submitting his report, far from being praised for his initiative in bringing the facts to light, he received a reprimand from Lajos Kucsera, head of the Criminal Investigation Department. What business did he have visiting the site at Macsk¡s? Customs investigators were responsible for dealing with such matters, not his unit. They would be contacted immediately, and the police would await their arrival in the local station offices rather than returning to the scene itself. Six hours elapsed according to Mr Karancsi's recollection before the customs officials turned up (although this was denied by Mr Istv¡n Tibori second in command of the county's customs investigation office, who claimed that they set off as soon as they were informed of the circumstances).

Citizens who are aware of federal crimes should report them to local offices of federal law enforcement. Some federal law enforcement agencies that investigate domestic crime on the Internet include: the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , the United States Secret Service , the United States Customs Service , the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) . Each of these agencies has offices conveniently located in every state to which crimes may be reported. Contact information regarding these local offices may be found in local telephone directories. In general, federal crime may be reported to the local office of an appropriate law enforcement agency by a telephone call and by requesting the "Duty Complaint Agent." Each law enforcement agency also has a headquarters (HQ) in Washington, D.C., which has agents who specialize in particular areas. For example, the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service both have headquarters-based specialists in computer intrusion (i.e., computer hacker) cases. In fact, the FBI HQ hosts an interagency center, the
