GELDWÄSCHE UND KORRUPTION

Durch Geldwäsche kann sich Verbrechen bezahlt machen, indem es Verbrechern ermöglicht wird, Einkünfte aus illegalen Aktivitäten zu verstecken und zu legitimieren. Nach einer aktuellen Schätzung beträgt die weltweite Geldwäscheaktivität in etwa eine Billion US Dollar pro Jahr. Diese illegalen Gelder ermöglichen es Verbrechern, eine Reihe zusätzlicher krimineller Aktivitäten zu finanzieren. Darüber hinaus begünstigt Geldwäsche Korruption, verzerrt wirtschaftliche Entscheidungsprozesse, verschlimmert soziale Missstände und bedroht die Integrität finanzieller Institutionen.

Geldwäscher haben heute Zugang zur Geschwindigkeit und Bequemlichkeit der modernen elektronischen Finanzwirtschaft. Angesichts des ungeheuren Ausmaßes dieses Verbrechens ist eine breit angelegte internationale Zusammenarbeit zwischen Strafverfolgungs- und Aufsichtbehörden unerläßlich, um die Quelle der illegalen Einnahmen zu ermitten, die Gelder spezifischen kriminellen Aktivitäten zuordnen zu können und die finanziellen Mittel der Verbrecher zu konfiszieren.
