COUNTERING MONEY LAUNDERING FROM DIGITAL FINANCIAL ASSETS

Abstract

Currently, the Russian Federation is forming a regulatory framework governing the circulation of digital financial assets. In order to counter money laundering and terrorist financing, it is necessary to include in the draft laws the relevant rules, which is what this scientific article is devoted to. The Russian Federation, as a member of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), consistently establishes in draft laws adopted to regulate the circulation of digital financial assets, norms that comply with the 40 FATF Recommendations. Banning financial institutions from maintaining anonymous accounts, taking measures to identify and verify customer identities, as well as other measures, should significantly affect the reduction of the criminogenic factor in the booming financial market.
