History of the creation of the Financial Intelligence Kyrgyz Republic

The objective prerequisites start anti -money laundering

The global trend of combating legalization of criminal activities began to take real shape in the early 80 - ies of the last century. Although in some countries the need for such opposition appeared much earlier. For example, in the United States came from crime syndicates gangster and mafia clans during the Great Depression , by the 40 years began to emerge from the shadows as a legal private banks , restaurants, casinos , construction , oil and other companies and firms. A legalization began with the establishment of private laundry facilities, which scrolls through millions of dollars in cash . The current stable , the term " money laundering" experts attribute to these " laundries " operations.
By the mid- 80s of the twentieth century, the need for a modern strategy to combat the laundering of money gained widespread international recognition. The starting point in the development of this trend is considered to be negotiations under the UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. Seizure of the proceeds of criminal elements from their criminal activity is increasingly seen as an important instrument in the fight against drug trafficking , and, later, to other types of crimes. Progress in this area is crucial in the fight against organized crime, corruption and the financing of terrorism and to maintain the integrity of the financial markets.
Develop a strategy for combating money laundering has demonstrated that traditional methods of fighting crime are not enough . First, law enforcement agencies have very limited access to relevant financial information , and secondly, the traditional law enforcement officers do not have the necessary experience in the financial industry , are far from intricate circuit of money laundering. It was obvious that the implementation of this strategy requires the creation and bringing to this fight special units composed of people who have enough experience in financial structures , and with the knowledge of the financial system .

Financial Intelligence Unit

First Financial Intelligence Unit ( FIU ) was established in the early 90 - ies of the last century. In the next fifteen years, the number FIU has increased dramatically in 2007, the Egmont Group ( an informal international association of FIUs ) consisted of such units already in 106 countries around the world . In 2003, the Task Force on Financial Measures against Money Laundering ( FATF ) adopted 40 recommendations to combat money laundering organization , among which were included direct recommendations on the establishment and functioning FIU. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank , as well as a number of their members have different countries with technical assistance in the establishment and strengthening of the FIU.
Over time, the range of tasks and responsibilities of the FIU is expanding in line with global trends to combat international terrorism. In addition to anti-money laundering and combating associated with this predicate offenses , they now include questions and combating the financing of terrorism. Information regarding the financing of terrorism , in many respects from the information on other financial crimes, which raises questions about the specific methods of analysis of such information and the relevant training FIU staff . Range of subjects , providing information and cooperating with entities of financial monitoring are also expanding to include the representatives of the non-financial professions , such as casino workers , persons providing services to companies , lawyers and accountants . As a result, the nature of received messages is becoming more diverse, which once again raises questions about the methods of analysis and training .
On the whole , the FIU are bodies that receive from financial institutions, other entities and individuals to report suspicious transactions , analyze the information , and transmit prepared on the basis of these reports the material law enforcement agencies and foreign FIUs to take appropriate measures in order to combat money laundering .

Eurasian Regional Group ( EAG )

In October 2003, the FATF Plenary meeting Russia initiated the creation of a regional Eurasian Group ( EAG ) on combating money laundering and terrorist financing, FATF-style .
The decision of the States Parties on the establishment of the EAG was taken at the Inaugural Conference in Moscow in October 2004 . The group , in addition to Russia , included Belarus, Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China . Observers in the EAG are currently 20 foreign countries and international organizations.
The main purpose of the Eurasian Group - Facilitation of the development of national systems for combating money laundering and terrorist financing , bringing them into line with international standards , improving the efficiency of these systems through international exchange of information.

The Financial Intelligence Service of the Kyrgyz Republic

The need to establish an FIU in the Kyrgyz Republic the most realistic appeared with the beginning of the membership of the Kyrgyz Republic in the regional Eurasian Group on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism ( EAG ) . Implementing decisions EAG , realization of the tasks that are considered and put to the Plenary meetings of this organization , it is strongly demanded the creation of a special authorized body , which would directly implement and coordinate work in the field of combating legalization (laundering ) of proceeds from crime and terrorist financing Kyrgyzstan.
The Financial Intelligence Unit in the Kyrgyz Republic traces its history from the date of signing by the President of the Kyrgyz Republic Decree number 352 dated September 8, 2005 " On the authorized body to combat the financing of terrorism and the" laundering " of proceeds of crime - Financial Intelligence Service of the Kyrgyz Republic" .
