Money laundering involves activities which are aimed at concealing benefits that were acquired through criminal means for the purpose of making them appear legitimately acquired. Money laundering promotes criminal activities in South Africa because it allows criminals to keep the benefits that they acquired through their criminal activities. It takes place through a variety of schemes which include the use of banks. In this sense money laundering control is based on the premise that banks must be protected from providing criminals with the means to launder the benefits of their criminal activities. The Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (‘FICA’) in aggregate with the Prevention of Organised Crime Act 121 of 1998 (‘POCA’) form the backbone of South Africa’s anti-money laundering regime. Like its international counterparts FICA imposes onerous duties on banks seeing that they are most often used by criminals as conduits to launder the benefits of crime. In turn, POCA criminalises activities in relation to the benefits of crime and delineates civil proceedings aimed at forfeiting the benefits of crime to the state. This study identifies the idiosyncrasies of the South African anti-money laundering regime and forwards recommendations aimed at improving its structure. To this end nine issues in relation to money laundering control and banks are investigated. The investigation fundamentally reveals that money laundering control holds unforeseen consequences for banks. In particular, a bank that receives the benefits of crimes such as fraud or theft faces prosecution if it fails to heed FICA’s money laundering control duties, for example, the filing of a suspicious transaction report. However, if the bank files a suspicious transaction report, it may be sued in civil court by the customer for breach of contract. In addition, if the bank parted with the benefits of fraud or theft whilst suspecting that the account holder may not be entitled to payment thereof, it may be sued by the victim of fraud or theft who seeks to recover loss suffered at the hand of the fraudster or thief from the bank. Ultimately, this study illustrates that amendment of some of the provisions of South Africa’s anti-money laundering legislation should enable banks to manage the aforementioned and other unforeseen consequences of money laundering control whilst at the same time contribute to the South African anti-money laundering effort. / Criminal and Procedural Law / Mercantile Law / LL.D.

The research was conducted as a result of the researcher‟s concern that the possibility exists that members of the different law enforcement agencies in South Africa might have a misconception about the mandate and functions of the Financial Intelligence Centre. If such a misconception in fact exists, it poses a huge challenge towards fruitful co-operation among the Centre and the different law enforcement agencies. The researcher identified certain practical problems, namely, that investigators are not aware of the types of intelligence that the Centre could provide them with, and that investigators might not be informed about the specific procedures to follow when they need to request intelligence from the Centre. The research has shown that, in the past, the Centre has been a useful source of crime intelligence concerning a range of predicate offences including narcotics, fraud and tax related crimes. The research has further found that, although the majority of participants gained a lot of experience in law enforcement and investigations, they had limited awareness about the Financial Intelligence Centre and its functions. This research project studied the utilisation of the Financial Intelligence Centre as a crime intelligence source. / Police Practice / M. Tech. (Forensic Investigation)

Notre recherche vise à vérifier s'il existe un lien entre l'intérêt des Américains pour les investissements étrangers et le maintien des structures opaques de la finance internationale. Les pratiques d'opacité financière (utilisation abusive du secret bancaire, faibles mesures d'identification du client, faible règlementation bancaire, absence d’échange d’information fiscale, absence d’obligations d’enregistrements de compagnies et de fiducies, possibilité d’établir la propriété d’une société avec des prête-noms, utilisation de bons au porteur, manque d’encadrement des fiducies, etc.) semblent accommoder les États qui les dénoncent. Utilisant les théories des jeux à deux niveaux de Putnam, de la règlementation et de l’équilibre de Nash, nous faisons le lien entre le niveau national et international. Notre recherche consiste en deux études de cas. La première traite d’un projet de règlement de l’Internal Revenue Service visant à assurer la déclaration de revenus d’intérêt sur les dépôts bancaires des non-résidents. La seconde traite d’une série de projets de loi déposés au Sénat et à la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis. Ils cherchent à assurer la transparence du processus d’enregistrement de compagnies de manière à faciliter l’accès des agences d’application de la loi à l’information sur les bénéficiaires effectifs des compagnies formées en sol américain. Notre recherche ne permet pas de confirmer notre hypothèse avec certitude. Cependant, nos données tendent à indiquer que les groupes d’intellectuels et les groupes de pression financiers incitent le gouvernement des États-Unis à freiner la mise en application de certaines mesures prévues par le régime antiblanchiment (particulièrement l’identification du client et le partage d’information avec des pays tiers) pour attirer l’investissement étranger. / Our Study aims to verify whether the United States’ interest in attracting foreign investment is linked to international financial opacity. Financial opacity practices (abusive use of bank secrecy, weak “Know Your Client” procedures, unregulated banking sector, no tax information exchange, absence of corporate and fiduciary registration obligations, possibility to set up corporations with nominee, possibility to issue bearer shares, lack of regulations for trusts, etc.) appear to accommodate even the states openly opposed to them. Using Putnam’s theory of two level games, regulation theory and Nash’s theory of equilibrium, we establish a link between the national and international levels. Our analysis includes two case studies. The first one deals with a project regulation from the Internal Revenue Service intended to ensure reporting of deposit interest paid to non-resident aliens. The second is a study of a series of project law presented to the United States Senate and House of Representatives. Those bills would allow for incorporation transparency to assist law enforcement in their efforts to identify beneficial owners of companies formed in the United States. Our hypothesis is not fully confirmed. However, our data tends to indicate that think tank and financial lobby groups influence the United States into stalling enactment of some anti-money laundering measures (particularly client identification and information sharing with tiers countries) in order to attract foreign investment.

Le blanchiment d'argent est considéré comme un crime organisé international. Du fait des progrès techniques et technologiques, il a connu un développement rapide. Ce qui a eu pour conséquence une évolution croissante de sa diffusion pendant vingt ans, en particulier après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Ceci a incité la communauté internationale à envisager soit au niveau régional soit au niveau mondial un certain nombre d'accords et de traités. Afin de lutter contre le blanchiment d'argent et le financement du terrorisme en tant que crime organisé du fait de leurs effets d'autant plus négatifs en temps de crise économique et internationale, il fut nécessaire de faire des efforts régionaux et internationaux dans le but d'en limiter l'expansion. La lutte contre le blanchiment d'argent inclut donc les obligations des professions juridiques et comptables et les professions bancaires et financières afin de rechercher et révéler les sources d'argent illicite qui ont été « lavées » et démasquer non seulement leur origine véritable mais également leur réutilisation. Le contenu de la lutte contre le blanchiment d'argent et le financement du terrorisme comporte trois obligations qui sont profondément attachées. Une obligation classique qui est l'obligation de secret professionnel, une obligation de vigilance allégée ou renforcée, fondée sur la qualité ou le degré du risque qui apparaît au cours de l'exécution d'opérations juridiques, comptables et bancaires, et une obligation de déclaration de soupçon sur les opérations suspectes envers les autorités compétentes visées par l'État. Il s'agit d'une étude comparative, analytique et critique des droits français et koweïtien dans une perspective législative, juridique et procédurale. / The crime of money laundering is not only considered to be an organized international crime but also an advanced and sophisticated task of fast and remarkable technology, which led to its spread globally over twenty years, particularly after 11 September 2001 attacks. Hence, the international community has called for the need to confront it at the regional and global level through the treaties and agreements, to prevent money laundering and terrorism funding. Money laundering is considered an organized crime as it has negative effects like economic crises. So it is necessary to exert efforts to stop its spread. There are three obligations to fight this crime, either it is for legal, accounting, or investment banking careers. These obligations aim at looking for sources of illegal and laundering money so as not to hide its illegal source but also to prevent its reuse or recycling. To confront this crime, there are three interrelated and interdependent obligations. First, traditional obligation of professional secrecy. Secondly, censorship or monitoring obligation can be diluted or intensive to fit (be adapted to) the dangerous degree which is shown through its implementation either in the legal, accounting, or banking transactions. Thirdly, the notification's obligation of suspicious transactions to the state's authorities to receive the suspicious notification of money laundering. This study is a critical and analytical comparison of French and Kuwait law through legal, legislative and procedure perspective.

La lutte internationale contre le blanchiment d’argent et le financement du terrorisme peut être définie comme l’ensemble des mesures qui concourent à l’éradication des flux financiers illicites.Le cadre juridique tel qu’il est défini de nos jours et intégré dans les ordres juridiques nationaux est une combinaison des conventions de l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU) et des Recommandations du Groupe d’Action Financière (GAFI). Il a été construit ces trente dernières années en raison de la menace que représentent certaines formes de criminalité : trafic illicite de stupéfiants, criminalité transnationale organisée, terrorisme et son financement.La présente étude se propose de matérialiser l’émergence d’un principe intrinsèque à la lutte contre les flux financiers illicites à travers le concept de sécurité financière internationale, qui apparait comme la finalité des mesures adoptées dans le cadre de la lutte internationale contre le blanchiment de capitaux et le financement du terrorisme.Nous illustrons cette hypothèse à partir d’une analyse de la politique criminelle internationale, autrement dit, l’ensemble des procédés par lesquels la communauté internationale organise les réponses au phénomène de la criminalité financière. Celle-ci permet de dessiner les contours de ce que nous qualifions de sécurité financière et démontre que la réponse de la communauté internationale au phénomène de la criminalité financière, tend inexorablement vers l’instauration d’un ordre à l’échelle internationale.Cette sécurité financière est synonyme d’ordre. Un ordre qui s’établit aussi bien en droit international que dans les droits internes, un ordre qui est caractérisé par un « droit à texture multiple avec primauté de la soft law ».Cet ordre justifie et fonde à la fois les obligations préventives et répressives, malgré les restrictions qu’il apporte à certains droits fondamentaux. Cet ordre regroupe de fait, un ensemble de prescriptions dont l’objectif est de préserver la société internationale des facteurs de désordre que sont les flux financiers illicites, le crime organisé, et le terrorisme.La sécurité financière est à la fois un objectif à atteindre et une nécessité majeure.Nous consolidons cette hypothèse par une réflexion sur les enjeux que représente l’instauration d’une sécurité financière et sur les moyens susceptibles d’en garantir l’effectivité. / The international fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism can be defined as the set of measures helping eradicate illicit financial flows.The legal framework as it is settled on and implemented into national legal orders is a combination of the United Nations (UN) conventions and the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).It was built over the past 30 years in response to the threat posed by certain forms of crime such as drug trafficking, transnational crime and the financing of terrorism.This work ambitions to highlight the emergence of an inherent principle to the fight against criminal financial flows through the concept of international financial security, which appears as the main goal of the measures adopted in the context aforementioned.We illustrate this assumption with an analysis of the international crime policy, in other words all the processes through which the international community organizes responses to the phenomenon of financial crime. This analysis permits to behold the shape of what we call “financial security” and demonstrates that the answer of the international community tends inexorably to the establishment of a sort of “international financial security”.This financial security stands for an order.An order established in both international law and domestic law, an order that is characterized by what we call "droit à texture multiple avec primauté de la soft law".This order justifies and bases both preventive and repressive obligations, despite the restrictions it imposes on fundamental rights. This order contains a whole set of prescriptions whose aim to protect the international society from the factors of disorder such us illicit financial flows, organized crime and terrorism.Financial security is as much a goal to reach as a necessity.We consolidate this premise with an afterthought on the challenge of establishing financial security and the means that can be used to guarantee its effectiveness.

Starting from the research into international relations through a cooperate view, we built an approach regarding the contemporary international order, whose actors cohabit under conditions of interdependency, in a scenario that demands bigger institutionalization and cooperation ties, namely in the restrain of complex and global topics, such as the subject of corruption. Corruption is one of the main topics in the international agenda and because it causes such unwanted effects to the economy and to the economic and social development of countries, especially the developing ones, the fight against it has gained in the last years, deserved prominence in the international circuit, with no less than six International Conventions about the subject, highlighting the United Nations Convention against Corruption, in 2003, which is the most comprehensive legally binding document, demanding efforts and mechanisms from the Estates in the fight against the phenomenon. The study looks at the need for a global effort to prevent and fight corruption, especially through international cooperation, focusing on two cooperative outlooks which can be effective mechanisms in the fight against the problem: the international technical cooperation, through which the Estates will be able to collaborate among each other in the acquisition, transfer and dissemination of technical knowledge for the qualification of its human resources and the strengthening of its institutions; and the international legal cooperation, destined to the combined facing of the problem by the Estates, which will strive in the efforts to punish the ones responsible, in the fight against money laundering and to recover the assets diverted to other countries, due to the practice of corruption, concluding that international cooperation has ceased being a courtesy among the Estates to become a necessity and an obligation in present days / O trabalho analisa a importância da cooperação internacional como instrumento jurídico de prevenção e de combate à corrupção. Partindo do estudo das relações internacionais sob a ótica da cooperação, construímos uma abordagem sobre a ordem internacional contemporânea, cujos atores convivem em condições de interdependência, num cenário que demanda maiores laços de cooperação e de institucionalização, nomeadamente no enfrentamento dos temas globais e complexos, como é a questão da corrupção. A corrupção é um dos temas prioritários na agenda internacional e por causar efeitos indesejáveis à economia e ao desenvolvimento econômico e social dos países, sobretudo aqueles em desenvolvimento, o seu combate passou, nos últimos anos, a ter um destaque merecido no âmbito internacional, com nada menos que seis Convenções Internacionais sobre o assunto, destacando-se a Convenção das Nações Unidas contra a Corrupção, de 2003, que é o mais abrangente documento juridicamente vinculante, a exigir dos Estados esforços e mecanismos na luta contra o fenômeno. O estudo aborda a necessidade de um esforço global para prevenir e combater a corrupção, sobretudo através da cooperação internacional, enfocando duas vertentes cooperativas que podem ser eficientes mecanismos no combate ao problema: a cooperação técnica internacional, através da qual os Estados poderão colaborar entre si na obtenção, transferência e disseminação de conhecimentos técnicos para a capacitação de seus recursos humanos e ao fortalecimento de suas instituições; e a cooperação jurídica internacional, destinada ao enfrentamento conjunto do problema pelos Estados, que envidarão esforços para a punição dos responsáveis, para combater a lavagem de dinheiro e para recuperar os ativos desviados para outros países, em decorrência da prática da corrupção, concluindo que a cooperação internacional deixou de ser uma gentileza entre os Estados para se tornar uma necessidade e uma obrigação presentes nos tempos atuais

As auditorias em dados financeiros mostram-se limitadas na identificação de fraudes, pois em grande parte, ainda são realizadas com dados coletados por amostragem e incapazes de identificar as situações de delito em tempo real. Este trabalho, visando auxiliar no atendimento a esta lacuna, tem por objetivo propor um método estatístico de monitoramento por Cartas de Controle multivariadas, com base na Lei de Benford, para a detecção de suspeitas de fraude em lançamentos financeiros, entre eles os devidos à lavagem de dinheiro. Foi definido um modelo conceitual com distribuição de probabilidades representando dados oriundos de lançamentos financeiros, e adotada a suposição de que aderem a distribuição da Lei de Benford. Posteriormente foi considerada a distribuição empírica, estimada a partir dos próprios dados e dois procedimentos foram testados para verificar as suspeitas de fraude por lavagem de dinheiro utilizando a avaliação dos primeiros dígitos significativos: A Carta de Controle multivariada _2 e a Carta de Controle multivariada T2 de Hotelling. Foram simulados dados com auxílio do software R-Project até a ocorrência do 50.000o sinal. Foram avaliados casos simulados e reais, com o fim de exemplificar a operação do método. A partir da simulação, as duas Cartas de Controle testadas foram avaliadas quanto ao ARL, isto é, o número médio de observações até sinalizar que a série passou a operar em um estado fora de controle, o que significa a suspeita de lançamentos fraudulentos. Após aplicação do método de análise retrospectiva, com base nas proporções dos primeiros dígitos de Benford em lançamentos financeiros da campanha para Prefeito em 2016, não foram evidenciadas suspeitas de fraude nos dados obtidos junto ao sítio do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). Em um conjunto de dados de uma instituição financeira, foram observados sinais de divergência entre as frequências dos primeiros dígitos nos lançamentos e nos valores esperados, porém os pontos além dos limites de controleidentificados encontram-se em um período próximo nas três análises realizadas, concentrando os dados de investigação para a auditoria financeira. A contribuição acadêmica deu-se pelo desenvolvimento de um modelo de aplicação de Cartas de Controle multivariadas e da Lei de Benford, com uma abordagem inovadora do controle estatístico de processos voltado à área financeira, utilizando recurso computacional acessível, de fácil processamento, confiável e preciso, que permite aprimoramento por novas abordagens acadêmicas. No que tange à contribuição à sociedade, se dá pelo uso do modelo por entidades que atuam com movimentações financeiras e pela comunidade, em dados de organizações civis e estatais divulgados nos canais de informação, de modo a proporcionar a prática cidadã pelo acesso à análise e a constatação da idoneidade dos fatos e dos dados. / Large losses are generated in the countryes financial systems, by money laundering. The volume of financial data is big issue to identify digital crime and money laundering. Audits in financial data have limitations in detecting fraud, in large part it is still performed in a traditional way, data are collected by sampling and often unable to identify a real-time crime situation. This research is aiming to serve in addressing this gap, to propose an monitoring statistical method, from multivariate control chart based on Benford’s law for detecting suspicious of fraud in financial data, including those due to money laundering. It was initially defined as a conceptual model in order to determine the type of probability distribution that represents data from financial launches. It was adopted an assumption that this type of data adheres to the Benford’s Law distribution. Subsequently, an empirical distribution was obtained, estimated from the own data. Two procedures were tested to verify a suspected money laundering fraud through the significant first-digit assessment: The Multivariate 2 Control Chart and the Multivariate Hotelling’s T2 Control Chart. Data were simulated using the R-Project software until the occurrence of the 50.000o signal. Finally, the simulation procedures were applied to real data in order to exemplify the method operationally. From the simulation, the two Control Charts tested were evaluated for ARL, that is, average number of observations until the signaling that the series started to operate in an out-of-control state, which it means suspicious of fraudulent launches. The application of the retrospective analysis method in the financial launchings of county’s campaign from 2016 Elections in five capitals of Brazil, based on the expected proportions from the first digit given by Benford’s Law, no suspicions fraud were evidenced in the data obtained from the site of Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE). Considering the application in a set of data from a financial institution, signs of divergence between the frequencies of the first digits of the entries and the expected values were observed, but these points beyond the identified limits are close in all three analyzes. Indicating the period of the data which ones the audit will focus in a further investigation. Academic contribution is identified by developing a multivariate Control Chart together the Benford’s law in an application model with an innovative approach to the statistical process control aimed at the financial area,using accessible, easy to process, reliable and accurate computational resources that allow improvement through new academic approaches. As regard to the contribution to society, it is given the opportunity of applying the model by financial entities and the community in the data of civil and state organizations, disclosed in the information channels in order to provide access to analysis and verification of the suitability of facts and data by citizen practice.

The effective combat against passive corruption crime is a challenge faced by the State. Thereby, the law community should examine this subject in order to properly apply the law as well as to search, within the legislation, meanings to this goal. The concept of corruption, the historic origins of the legal definition, its fundaments and elements, as its description, passive and active subjects, illegal benefit/bribe, qualified and privileged figures forms, among others aspects are analyzed. The study also refers to the relation between passive corruption and other crimes against public administration stated on the Penal Code, and with crimes established outside the codified legislation. Finally, it analyses the application of the laws n. 8.429/92, n. 9.034/95 and n. 9.613/98, as an effort against public administration crimes , in special against passive corruption . By examining national and foreign doctrine and jurisprudence, this work presents as result the analysis of the article 317 s main aspects and its possible relations with the laws n. 8.429/92, n. 9.034/95 and n. 9.613/98 / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo o estudo do crime de corrupção passiva, previsto no artigo 317 do Código Penal. O combate efetivo à corrupção passiva é um enorme desafio que se impõe ao Estado, cabendo ao operador do direito estudar o assunto com a finalidade de bem aplicar o dispositivo e também para buscar, no ordenamento jurídico, instrumentos legais disponíveis para essa missão. Em exame o referido artigo, são analisados o conceito de corrupção, as origens históricas do tipo penal, seu fundamento jurídico e ainda seus elementos, tais como núcleo, sujeitos ativo e passivo, conceito de vantagem indevida e as figuras qualificada e privilegiada dos parágrafos, entre outros aspectos. O estudo trata também da relação entre a corrupção passiva e alguns dos outros crimes previstos no Código Penal, pertencentes ao mesmo gênero dos crimes contra a administração pública, e ainda da relação o entre artigo 317 do Código Penal e outros tipos similares fixados na legislação. Por fim, examina a possibilidade de aplicação de dispositivos das Leis n. 8.429/92, n. 9.034/95 e n. 9.613/98, em reforço ao amplo combate que se deve opor aos crimes praticados contra a administração pública, em especial à corrupção passiva. A partir do exame da doutrina nacional e estrangeira e da jurisprudência, este trabalho apresenta como resultado a análise de aspectos do artigo 317 do Código Penal e das possíveis relações que se podem estabelecer entre o tipo e algumas das principais disposições das Leis n. 8.429/92, n. 9.034/95 e n. 9.613/98
