New Threat of Russian Mob's Money Laundering (Audio/Visual CD-ROM)
Experts say the Russian mob is preparing to invade the U.S. financial system with the proceeds of its arms and drugs trafficking, financial crimes, and other unsavory funds…
The October 2003 arrest of Yukos Oil head Mikhail Khodorkovsky caused money to pour out of Russia, reversing the inflow that occurred during the first six months of 2003. Oleg Vyugin, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Central Bank, says that he expects a net private capital flight of more than $13 billion. Much of this money is dirty, and it’s U.S.-bound.
Why do compliance officers in the United States need to be aware of this growing menace? Yukos’ parent company was allegedly involved in the Bank of New York money laundering scandal, and experts say that scandal was just the tip of the iceberg. Under the surface of the Euro-U.S. sea of international money laundering is a Russian glacier swiftly and calculatingly sliding westward toward U.S. financial institutions. And when it hits full force, some assets will freeze and others will forfeit as these Russian crime proceeds spoil the vaults of U.S. institutions.
