参议院司法委员会主席查克·格拉斯利(Chuck Grassley)和艾米·克洛布查尔(Amy Klobuchar)参议员提出了一项两党法案,旨在通过加重刑罚并确保法律适用于毒贩和恐怖分子使用的系统来打击洗钱行为。
来自爱荷华州的共和党人格拉斯利和来自明尼苏达州的民主党人克洛布查尔于周五提出了《打击洗钱、恐怖融资和伪造法案》,以加强刑事洗钱法规。

该法案将更新伪造法律,禁止采用最先进的伪造方法,并加重大额现金走私的刑罚。
该法案还将确保洗钱法律适用于毒贩和恐怖分子常使用的非正规价值转移系统。
在该法案提出之际,特朗普政府官员警告称,敌对势力(如贩毒集团和恐怖分子)正通过美国边境复杂的金融渠道资助其行动。
格拉斯利和克洛布查尔还表示,该法案将禁止为规避申报要求而跨境运送空白支票。
“犯罪企业和恐怖组织依靠非法所得现金来实施其黑暗行径。随着洗钱手段的不断演变,政府打击犯罪的努力也必须与时俱进,”格拉斯利表示,并补充说他们的法案将确保执法部门“拥有追踪黑钱、追究罪犯责任并防止进一步犯罪所需的工具”。
克洛布查尔补充说,随着犯罪者和恐怖组织“不断开发新的洗钱方法,我们必须为执法部门提供保护美国社区安全所需的工具”。

“这项两党立法对反洗钱法规和伪造法律进行了必要更新,确保执法部门能够领先于那些企图破坏我国安全与稳定的人,”她表示。
该法案还将设立一项新的洗钱违法行为,禁止资金进出美国——这些资金的转移特别以违反美国所得税法为目的。
该法案还将禁止合谋成立非法货币服务企业;授予窃听权力以调查货币申报、大额现金走私、非法货币服务企业和伪造犯罪;并明确授予美国特勤局调查勒索软件犯罪和其他未获许可的资金转移用途的权力;还将确保金融机构合规。
该法案在执法部门获得广泛支持,并得到了美国警察兄弟会、美国助理检察官协会、全国警察组织协会和全国地区检察官协会的认可。
美国警察兄弟会主席帕特里克·约斯(Patrick Yoes)表示:“通过澄清法律以回应近期法院判决、加强刑罚并扩大调查权限,这项立法将恢复关键的执法工具,并有助于打击跨国犯罪组织。”该组织“强烈支持这项法案,它将防止罪犯和恐怖分子从其犯罪行为中获利,并保护公共安全和国家安全。”
美国助理检察官协会也对该法案表示支持,称“有针对性的改革将加强调查、提高起诉清晰度,并更好地反映现代洗钱计划的实际运作方式。”

Bipartisan Senate bill targets money laundering linked to drug trafficking, terrorism

The act was introduced by GOP Sen Chuck Grassley and Democrat Sen Amy Klobuchar

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Sen. Amy Klobuchar introduced a bipartisan measure to crack down on money laundering by increasing penalties and ensuring laws apply to systems used by drug traffickers and terrorists.
Grassley, R-Iowa, and Klobuchar, D-Minn., introduced the “Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Finance and Counterfeiting Act” Friday to enhance criminal money laundering statutes.

The bill would update counterfeiting laws to prohibit state-of-the-art counterfeiting methods and increase penalties for bulk cash smuggling.
The bill would also ensure money laundering laws apply to informal value transfer systems that are often used by drug traffickers and terrorists.
The introduction of the bill comes as Trump administration officials warn that hostile actors, like cartels and terrorists, are funding operations through complex financial channels across the U.S. border.
Grassley and Klobuchar also said the bill would prohibit the cross-border shipment of blank checks for the purpose of evading reporting requirements.
“Criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations depend on ill-begotten cash to carry out their dark deeds. As money laundering methods have evolved over time, so must the government’s efforts to exact justice,” Grassley said, adding that their bill would ensure law enforcement “has the tools they need to track down dirty money, hold criminals accountable and prevent further crimes.”
Klobuchar added that as criminals and terrorist organizations “develop new methods to launder money, we must provide our law enforcement with the tools they need to keep American communities safe.”

“This bipartisan legislation makes necessary updates to anti-money laundering statutes and counterfeiting laws, ensuring the law enforcement community can stay one step ahead of those working to undermine our nation’s safety and security,” she said.
The bill also would establish a new money laundering violation that would prohibit the transfer of funds into or out of the United States — funds specifically being transferred with the intent to violate U.S. income tax laws.
The bill would also prohibit conspiracies to create illegal money services businesses; grant wiretapping authority to investigate currency reporting, bulk cash smuggling, illegal money services businesses and counterfeiting offenses; and grant the U.S. Secret Service the explicit authority to investigate ransomware crimes and other uses of unlicensed money transmitting; and would ensure compliance with financial institutions.
The measure has wide support in the law enforcement community and has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys, the National Association of Police Organizations and the National District Attorneys Association.
“By clarifying the law in response to recent court decisions, strengthening penalties and expanding investigative authorities, this legislation will restore critical law enforcement tools and help disrupt transnational criminal organizations,” Patrick Yoes, president of the Fraternal Order of Police said, adding that the organization “strongly supports this bill, which would prevent criminals and terrorists from profiting from their crimes and protect public safety and national security.”
The National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys also endorsed the bill saying the “targeted reforms will strengthen investigations, improve prosecutorial clarity and better reflect how modern money-laundering schemes actually operate.”
