FinCEN Follows the Money. A Local Approach for Identifying and Tracing Criminal Proceeds

摘要

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) was established by the Department of the Treasury in April 1990 to provide a governmentwide, multisource intelligence and analytical network in support of the detection, investigation, and prosecution of domestic and international money laundering and other financial crimes by Federal, State, local, and foreign law enforcement agencies. To fulfill this mission, FinCEN maintains a database of reports of large currency or otherwise suspicious transactions. This information is available to state and local law enforcement agencies through designated coordinators in each state as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
