Abstract

To fight corruption, money laundering, and organized crime, a proposed APUNCAC Beneficial Owner Rule would require financial service personnel to obtain and submit certification by the true beneficial owner when covered funds are transacted in amounts exceeding USD 3000. The strategy would trap front men into false statements, create a transaction-level record of assertions by front men that can be tested by a prosecutor, eliminate loopholes that allow criminals to escape prosecution in offshore havens, not require proof of a predicate crime or the illicit nature of funds, trigger a chain of witness cooperation, fight organized crime using a domino strategy, and be accomplished via a relatively simple change in domestic laws. Analysis suggests (1) the required technology exists; (2) transaction friction would be minimal; and (3) that the implementation of the Rule is feasible and practical, both operationally and from a legal standpoint, suggesting that the proposed Rule offers a promising strategy to fight organized crime.
《联合国反腐败公约》受益权所有人规则的反腐败议定书
为了打击腐败、洗钱和有组织犯罪,拟议的APUNCAC受益所有人规则将要求金融服务人员在交易金额超过3000美元时获得并提交真正受益所有人的证明。这一策略将使幌子人落入虚假陈述的陷阱,创造一个可以由检察官检验的交易级别的幌子人断言记录,消除允许犯罪分子在离岸避风港逃避起诉的漏洞,不需要证明上游犯罪或资金的非法性质,触发证人合作链,使用多米诺骨牌策略打击有组织犯罪,并通过对国内法律进行相对简单的修改来实现。分析表明:(1)所需的技术是存在的;(2)交易摩擦最小;(3)从操作和法律的角度来看,《规则》的实施是可行和实际的,这表明拟议的《规则》为打击有组织犯罪提供了一个有希望的战略。
