Parmi les indicateurs de la mondialisation, le secret bancaire est au centre d'un débat animé en ce moment historique, caractérisé par la globalisation de l'économie, les exigences de sécurité croissantes, l'urgence de la lutte contre le blanchiment des capitaux provenant d’activités criminelles et l’internationalisation expansive des réseaux bancaires. La tendance vers le renforcement de la coopération internationale, met en discussion la forte sauvegarde du secret bancaire de plusieurs pays. La question dirimante est plutôt claire. Il s'agit, effectivement, de savoir jusqu'à quel point le secret, dans sa conception la plus inextensible et inflexible, devient par contre un instrument décisif pour contourner les règles communes,faire une concurrence déloyale sur les marchés et assurer des véritables crimes, par exemple de type terroriste. Pour faire évoluer les situations jugées problématiques, la démarche parallèle des trois organismes BÂLE, l’OCDE puis le GAFI est d’autant plus significative, qu’elle a été inspirée par les préoccupations exprimées au sein du G7 sur les dangers que présenteraient pour l’économie internationale certaines activités financières accomplies sur et à partir de ces territoires. L’ordre public justifie aussi la mise en place de mesures particulières en vue d’enrayer le blanchiment des capitaux provenant du trafic des stupéfiants. Selon les pays, des systèmes plus ou moins ingénieux tentent de concilier la nécessaire information des autorités publiques et le droit au secret bancaire, élément avancé de la protection de la vie privée dont le corollaire est, entre autres, l’article 7 et 8 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés et l’article 8 de la Convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits de l’homme et des libertés fondamentales du citoyen, et donc de l’atteinte à ces libertés. Nous le verrons, les prérogatives exorbitantes dont bénéficient l’État, l’administration ou certains tiers, par l’exercice d’un droit de communication et d’échange d’information, constituent une véritable atteinte au principe sacré de la vie privée et du droit à la confidentialité. Cette pénétration de l’État ou de l’administration au coeur des relations privilégiées entre la banque et son client trouve certainement une justification irréfutable lorsque la protection est celle de l’intérêt public, de la recherche d’une solution juridique et judiciaire. Mais cela crée inévitablement des pressions internes et des polémiques constantes,indépendamment de l’abus de droit que l’on peut malheureusement constater dans l’usage et l’exercice de certaines prérogatives. / Among the indicators of globalization, banking secrecy is currently at the centre of a historic and heated debate over the globalization of the economy, growing security requirements, the urgency of the fight against the laundering of funds from criminal activities and the expansive globalization of banking networks. The trend toward strengthening international cooperation calls into question the firm safeguarding of banking secrecy in several countries. The telling question is quite clear: it essentially involves knowing how far secrecy in its most restricted and inflexible form nevertheless becomes a decisive instrument in bypassing common rules, making for unfair competition in the markets and ensuring real crimes: terrorism, for instance . In the development of situations considered problematic, the parallel approach of the three organizations, the Basel Committee, OECD and FATF, is all the more significant for having been inspired by the concerns expressed within the G7 about the dangers to the international economy presented by certain financial activities performed on and from these territories. Public order also justifies the implementation of dedicated measures to curb the laundering, of funds from drug trafficking. Depending on the country, more or less ingenious systems attempt to reconcile the necessary informing of the public authorities and the right to banking secrecy, an advanced element in the protection of private life, the upshot of which are, among others, Articles 7 and 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Safeguarding of Citizens’ Human Rights and Fundamental Liberties, and the corresponding breach of these liberties. As we shall see, the exorbitant prerogatives the State, the administration or certain third parties enjoy by exercising a right to public performance and information exchange constitute a veritable breach of the hallowed principle of private life and the right to confidentiality. This penetration by the State or the administration into the heart of privileged relations between banks and their customers certainly finds irrefutable justification when protection involves the public interest – the search for a juridical and judicial solution. But this inevitably creates internal pressures and constant controversy, regardless of the abuse of law that can unfortunately be seen in the use and exercise of certain prerogatives.

<p>This paper is inspired by the ills borne out of the internet. The internet has become a modern day tool for criminals seeking to conceal the proceeds derived from their crime, hence the&nbsp / problematic notion of cyberlaundering. This paper journeys through the world of cyberlaundering by looking into the structure of the crime in great depth. It explores various possibilities, and tries to hatch out viable solutions to the dilemma.</p>

Financial Action Task Force (FATF) är det främsta internationella organ som verkar i kampen mot penningtvätt, i syfte att utveckla och förbättra de nationella systemen, stärka ett lands finansiella säkerhet och stärka det internationella samarbetet. FATF`s rekommendationer, liksom dess ömsesidiga utvärderingsprogram, är så kraftfullt att de anses som en "gyllene standard" beträffande penningtvätt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att kartlägga hur Sverige som medlemsland uppfyller efterlevnaden av FATF’s rekommendationer i granskningschecklistan, med särskild tonvikt på kundkännedomskraven, i jämförelse med FATF’s andra medlemsländer. Undersökningen baseras på FATF’s 34 medlemsländers ömsesidiga utvärderingsrapport, som vi bearbetar genom en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod. Studiens resultat visar att medlemsländernas genomsnittliga efterlevnadsnivå av samtliga rekommendationer är 53,3 %. Sverige uppfyller rekommendationerna till 51,8 %. Medelvärdet för samtliga medlemsländer beträffande åtgärderna för kundkännedom är 38,1 %. Sverige ligger under genomsnittet på 28,6 %.  Studieresultaten visar tydligt att Sveriges efterlevnadsnivå, av FATF’s samtliga rekommendationer, ligger på liknade genomsnittsnivå som övriga medlemsländer. Av samtliga 34 medlemsländer ligger Sverige på 19:e plats. Resultatet indikerar på att det behövs ytterligare insatser för att bekämpa penningtvätt på ett mer tillfredställande sätt. Vi kan även konstatera genom vår studie att Sveriges genomsnittliga efterlevnadsnivå på kundkännedomsåtgärder är betydligt lägre än övriga medlemsländers genomsnittsnivå. Av samtliga 34 medlemsländer ligger Sverige på 24:e plats. Det innebär att Sverige behöver mer målmedvetna åtgärder för de finansiella instituten och tillsynsmyndigheter för att förbättra efterlevnaden. Skillnaden i kundkännedomsregleringar kan tolkas av olika rekommendationers tillämpbarhet. Det beror på att vissa kundkännedomsrekommendationer inte är kompatibla eller tillämpbara. I vår studie har vi inte kunnat fastställa några mätbara faktorer till olikheter/likheter mellan ländernas efterlevnadsnivå utifrån granskningschecklistan, men från tidigare rapporter finns förbindelse mellan regleringsnivå i respektive land och efterlevnad. Det finns även en förbindelse mellan kostnadsstrategi och graden på efterlevnadsnivå Vilka skillnader och likheter som förekommer mellan ländernas efterlevnadsnivå har vi däremot kunnat konstatera. / Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the main international body active in the fight against money laundering, in order to develop and improve national systems, strengthen the country's financial security and strengthen international cooperation. FATF `s recommendations, as well as its mutual evaluation program, are so powerful that they regarded as a" gold standard "for money laundering. The purpose of this paper is to identify how Sweden as a member country meets compliance with the FATF's recommendations in the audit checklist, with special emphasis on customer identification procedures, in comparison with the FATF's other member countries. The survey is based on the FATF's 34 member countries mutual evaluation report, which we process through a quantitative research method. Our results demonstrate that the Member States' average level of compliance of all the recommendations is 53.3%. Sweden fulfills the recommendations to 51.8%. The mean value of all member countries on measures of customer due diligence is 38.1%. Sweden is below average at 28.6%. The study results clearly indicate that Sweden's level of compliance, the FATF's recommendations all, is in a similar average level of other member countries. Of all the 34 member countries, Sweden is in 19th place. The results indicate that further efforts are needed to combat money laundering in a more satisfactory way. We can also observe through our study that Sweden's average levels of compliance due diligence measures are significantly lower than other Member States average. Of all the 34 member countries, Sweden is in 24th place. This means that Sweden needs more ambitious measures for financial institutions and regulators to improve compliance. The difference in customer due diligence regulations can be interpreted by different recommendations applicability. It is because some due diligence recommendations are not compatible or applicable. In our study, we have not been able to identify any measurable factors for differences / similarities between the countries' level of compliance based audit checklist, but from previous reports are connection between the level of regulation in each country and compliance. There is also a connection between the cost approach and the degree of compliance on what differences and similarities that exist between the countries' level of compliance, we have however been observed.

A presente dissertação de mestrado tratou de analisar a prática do crime de evasão de divisas como uma possível estratégia das organizações criminosas. A análise empírica deu-se, em especial, pela leitura de acórdãos – para os quais se utilizou do programa de análise de dados sociais qualitativos NVivo8 – e ementas (espécies de resumos) do Tribunal Regional Federal da 4ª Região, pela realização de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com membros do Judiciário Federal e do Ministério Público Federal, e pela observação das operações especiais realizadas pela Polícia Federal, cujas informações foram complementadas pela busca de informações na internet em sítios de notícias e de instituições governamentais. A leitura das legislações trazidas no decorrer do trabalho também serviu de subsídio para as considerações finais. Passando pelas concepções primeiras a respeito do que se entenderia por crime e criminoso de colarinho branco, buscou-se fazer uma análise, considerando o âmbito brasileiro e o período de vigência da Lei n. 7.492/86, que trata dos crimes contra o Sistema Financeiro Nacional – estando, dentre eles, a evasão. Tal estudo pretendeu identificar as eventuais dissonâncias entre as características de outrora – do delito e delinquente de colarinho branco – e as atuais, apontando para a ampliação do perfil outrora traçado por Edwin H. Sutherland. No que tange às razões e consequência da criminalização de evasão de divisas, procedeu-se à análise da necessidade de proteção da sociedade por intermédio de uma norma penal. Nessa esteira, enveredou-se por questionamentos acerca das fragilidades sociais e institucionais, da integração, da impunidade e da morosidade judicial, bem como das estratégias de combate à criminalidade econômica. O exame realizado conduziu ao entendimento de que a evasão de divisas ocorre, não raramente, conjuntamente com outros delitos e com o crime organizado, podendo ser utilizada – ainda que não o tenha sido, comprovadamente – como elemento estratégico para a sustentação de organizações criminosas. / The present Master‟s thesis analyzed the criminal practice of tax evasion as a strategy possibly used by criminal organizations. Empirical analysis was made mainly through the reading of sentences, for which I used the NVivo8 software (for qualitative social data analysis), and summaries (ementas) of the TRF 4ª R., through semi-structured interviews with members of the Federal Judiciary and of the Federal Public Ministry. And finally, through the observation of special operations performed by the Federal Police, of which information was complemented by data found on news and governmental institutions websites on the Internet. For the final considerations, I used as a foundation the legislation mentioned in the course of the work. Starting with initial concepts as to what people would understand as a crime and the white-collar criminal, I built an analysis that takes into account the Brazilian scope and the validity period of Act n. 7.492/86, which deals with crimes against the National Financial System – among them, evasion. Such research intends to identify any inconsistencies between the former characteristics – of delinquency and the white-collar delinquent – and the actual characteristics, pointing at the enlargement of the profile once defined by Edwin H. Sutherland. Regarding the reasons and the consequence of the tax evasion criminalization, I move forward, analyzing the necessity of protecting society through criminal regulation. In this context, I bring questions about social and institutional fragilities, of integration, impunity and judicial slowness, as well as questions about the strategies to combat economic crimes. The performed exam led to the understanding that tax evasion happens, not rarely, along with other transgressions and organized crime, and it is subject to be used, even though not proved, as a strategic element for sustaining criminal organizations.

O presente trabalho se propõe a discutir a compatibilidade entre o dever de comunicar operações suspeitas de lavagem de capitais por advogados e os princípios inerentes ao exercício da advocacia. Nesse sentido, a entrada em vigor da parte administrativa da Lei de Lavagem de Capitais motivou os diversos órgãos representativos de classes profissionais a regulamentarem as atividades de seus representados, inclusive definindo quais operações apresentariam indícios de suspeição. A Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil, por seu turno, já externou seu entendimento no sentido de que o artigo 9o, parágrafo único, inciso XIV, é inaplicável aos advogados, sob o argumento de uma suposta incompatibilidade entre o sigilo profissional e o teor da norma. Trabalha-se com a hipótese de que a postura da OAB fragiliza a segurança profissional dos advogados, expondo a classe de profissionais a risco permanente na prática da advocacia, especificamente a consultiva. Não por outro motivo, muitos advogados se tornaram alvo de investigações criminais por práticas profissionais que acabaram se revelando como possíveis contribuições a processos de lavagem de capitais de clientes. No âmbito internacional, entidades representativas no combate à lavagem de capitais entendem estarem os serviços jurídicos prestados por advogados sujeitos aos mecanismos controle. A submissão dos advogados ao dever de informar operações suspeitas de clientes, portanto, parece ser um caminho sem volta, ao menos sob certos pressupostos e condições. / After the enactment of Federal Law No. 12,683/2012, the discussion regarding the submission of lawyers to control mechanisms of operations that are suspected to be a money laundering scheme has become relevant, especially when they act advising clients in financial, real estate and corporate transactions. Among them, the spotlight is in the obligation to communicate suspicious transactions that is related with the central issue of this discussion: its compatibility with principles inherent to the practice of advocacy. The entry into force of the administrative part of the Money Laundering Law motivated the various representative bodies of professional classes to regulate the activities of their represented personnel, including defining which operations would show signs of suspicion. The Brazilian Bar (OAB), for its part, has already expressed its view that Article 9, sole paragraph, clause XIV, is inapplicable to lawyers, on the grounds of a supposed incompatibility between professional confidentiality and the provisions of the law. The hypothesis that the position of OAB weakens the professional security of lawyers is worked upon, exposing the entire class of professionals to permanent risk in the practice of advocacy, especially the advisory. For the very same reason, many lawyers became the target of criminal investigations for professional practices that turned out to be potential contributions to clients' money laundering procedures. At the international level, entities representing the struggle against money laundering understand that the legal services provided by lawyers are subject to control mechanisms. The submission of lawyers to the duty to report suspicious client transactions seems to be a non-return path, at least under certain assumptions and conditions.

Magister Legum - LLM (Criminal Justice and Procedure) / The combating of money laundering has become crucial since it has escalated from a domestic to an international problem and vice versa. South Africa, in an attempt to combat money laundering has enacted anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorism legislation. The legislation consists of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (POCA); the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (FICA); and the Protection of Constitutional Democracy against Terrorist and Related Activities Act 33 of 2004 (POCDATARA). In essence POCA and POCDATARA criminalise money laundering and terrorist financing. FICA requires certain professions, such as the legal profession to maintain specific controls. Such controls include AML measures, combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) and also require the keeping of confidential client records, the filing of suspicious transaction reports (STR's) and certain cash transaction reports (CTR's).

It is a scientific research, using qualitative and historical methods, because if provides an overview of the historical evolution of this behavior and makes a literature review of books, magazines, periodicals, websites and jurisprudence on the topic. The theme focused on attempts to achieve a criminal reality quite refined, improved and little known, even by most jurists since, amounts to a legislative innovation of considerable complexity. The objective is to expose the density of theme, had its own particularities, summarizing the historical evolution of anti-money laundering legislation, showing generations by passing or may pass such laws, in an attempt to contextualize the topic, presenting the concepts that reach such criminal and the various terms used as synonymous, thus showing that, due to their complexity, some phases sometimes be necessary to show that the capital of illicit origin are being reintroduced to the socio-economic-financial system, to gain the appearance of legitimate . Search will, within this context, presenting the legal interests protected by the standard anti-money laundering, interconnecting it to the criminal aspects of the law 9.613/98, exposing finally some ensure measures to combat and prevent washing. Compared to the plexus of the criminal action that achieves this offense, the call for new and efficient legal systems is worldwide, making a recommendation to the constitution of international legal texts, treaties, conventions etc. enabling all countries act cooperatively to combat money laundering. Worries thus not enhance the legislative tool that is available, but criticize it properly, only in their gaps, because there are many who admonish National Legislation anti-money laundering, however, few collaborate to address their breaches. Faced with increased macro crime organized and the large sums raised by them, upon exercise of their criminal activities, combined with the easy movement of values around the world and use these facilities to hide the values from the crimes committed by criminal bands mentioned, a concern of international order gained intensity in order to curb legally and said concrete globalized phenomenon. The problem evidenced in this work goes beyond the barriers of criminal policy, legal rulings and doctrinal studies on the topic. Its consequences are deleterious and that shows more concern is its scope, the constituency that borders finds no criminal activity. The only way to prevent such crime and to control it with the required property is taking it seriously. Recognizing the magnitude and wishing are truly creating a structure capable of detecting crime prior placate him at home. The Implementation of public policies, the rigging of the competent authorities involved in combating money laundering, awareness of financial institutions, the resurgence of standards etc., Initiatives that are in the medium term could make concrete have some effect, with respect to this crime decreased as offensive to the world society. / A presente dissertação tem por objetivo analisar alguns pontos de reconhecida importância dentro do tema lavagem de capitais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa científica, utilizando-se os métodos histórico e qualitativo, porquanto, se apresenta uma síntese da evolução histórica dessa conduta e se perfaz uma revisão bibliográfica de livros, revistas, periódicos, sites e jurisprudências referentes ao assunto. O tema focalizado tenta alcançar uma realidade criminal bastante refinada, aprimorada e pouco conhecida, até mesmo por boa parte dos operadores do direito, posto, se tratar de inovação legislativa de considerável complexidade. Objetiva-se expor a densidade do tema, apresentado suas particularidades, sintetizando a evolução histórica da legislação antilavagem, mostrando as gerações por que passa ou podem passar essas leis, em uma tentativa de contextualizar o tema, apresentando os conceitos que alcançam esse tipo penal e as diversas expressões que são utilizadas para cognominá-lo, demonstrando, assim, que, por sua complexidade, algumas fases, por vezes, se mostram necessárias para que os capitais de origem ilícita sejam reintroduzidos ao sistema socioeconômico-financeiro, para ganhar aparência de legítimo. Procurar-se-á, dentro desse contexto, apresentar os bens jurídicos protegidos pela norma antilavagem, interconectando-o aos aspectos penais da lei 9.613/98, expondo, por fim, algumas medidas assecuratórias de combate e prevenção à lavagem. Ante o plexo da ação criminal que alcança esse delito, o apelo por novos e eficientes sistemas legais é mundial, perfazendo uma recomendação internacional a constituição de textos legais, tratados, convenções etc. que permitam que todos os países atuem de forma cooperativa no combate a lavagem de capitais. Preocupa-se, assim, não em enaltecer a ferramenta legislativa que se encontra à disposição, mas, criticá-la com propriedade, apenas nas suas lacunas, pois, são muitos os que admoestam a Legislação Nacional Antilavagem, porém, poucos colaboram para colmatar suas brechas. Diante do aumento da macrocriminalidade organizada e das grandes somas por elas levantadas, quando do exercício de suas atividades delitivas, aliado a fácil circulação de valores em todo o mundo e a utilização dessas facilidades para ocultar os valores oriundos dos crimes praticados por citadas bandas criminais, uma preocupação de ordem internacional ganhou intensidade, no intuito de coibir de forma legal e concreta dito fenômeno globalizado. O problema evidenciado nesse trabalho ultrapassa as barreiras da política criminal, das normas jurídicas e dos estudos doutrinários sobre o tema. Suas consequências são deletérias e o que se mostra mais preocupante é o seu alcance; a circunscrição dessa atividade delituosa não encontra fronteiras. A única forma de se prevenir tal delito e combatê-lo com a necessária propriedade é levando-o a sério. Reconhecendo sua magnitude e desejando-se, verdadeiramente a criação de uma estrutura apta a detectar o crime prévio e aplacá-lo na origem. A Implantação de políticas públicas, o aparelhamento das autoridades competentes envolvidas no combate ao branqueamento, a conscientização das instituições financeiras, o recrudescimento das normas etc., são iniciativas que em médio prazo poderiam fazer surtir algum efeito concreto, no tocante a diminuição dessa criminalidade tão ofensiva à sociedade mundial.
