Based on its own practice, using the practice of other participants of the national financial monitoring system and the experience of international partners, the SFMS has prepared a typological study on “Risks and threats of the legalization (laundering) of the proceeds of crime and terrorist financing in the context of military aggression of the Russian Federation”.

The typological study highlights the types of schemes for the legalization (laundering) of the proceeds of crime and the financing of terrorism (separatism) committed in the context of Russia’s military aggression, discloses indicators of suspicion, methods and tools of ML/TF/PF schemes.

The importance of applying a risk-based approach to identify the abovementioned crimes and develop strategies for their prevention and counteraction is determined.

The typological study can serve as a basis for the identification and counteraction to the spread of crimes that may be common in times of war. It will also be useful in supervising activities and amending legislation.

The typology will not be published on the official website of the SFMS, as it contains sensitive information. It will be disseminated to the participants of the system in the targeted way.
