TITLE III--INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING ABATEMENT AND ANTI-TERRORIST
FINANCING ACT OF 2001.
SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``International Money Laundering
Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001''.
SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) money laundering, estimated by the International
Monetary Fund to amount to between 2 and 5 percent of global
gross domestic product, which is at least $600,000,000,000
annually, provides the financial fuel that permits
transnational criminal enterprises to conduct and expand their
operations to the detriment of the safety and security of
American citizens;
(2) money laundering, and the defects in financial
transparency on which money launderers rely, are critical to
the financing of global terrorism and the provision of funds
for terrorist attacks;
(3) money launderers subvert legitimate financial
mechanisms and banking relationships by using them as
protective covering for the movement of criminal proceeds and
the financing of crime and terrorism, and, by so doing, can
threaten the safety of United States citizens and undermine the
integrity of United States financial institutions and of the
global financial and trading systems upon which prosperity and
growth depend;
(4) certain jurisdictions outside of the United States that
offer ``offshore'' banking and related facilities designed to
provide anonymity, coupled with special tax advantages and weak
financial supervisory and enforcement regimes, provide
essential tools to disguise ownership and movement of criminal
funds, derived from, or used to commit, offenses ranging from
narcotics trafficking, terrorism, arms smuggling, and
trafficking in human beings, to financial frauds that prey on
law-abiding citizens;
(5) transactions involving such offshore jurisdictions make
it difficult for law enforcement officials and regulators to
follow the trail of money earned by criminals, organized
international criminal enterprises, and global terrorist
organizations;
(6) correspondent banking facilities are one of the banking
mechanisms susceptible in some circumstances to manipulation by
foreign banks to permit the laundering of funds by hiding the
identity of real parties in interest to financial transactions;
(7) private banking services can be susceptible to
manipulation by money launderers, for example corrupt foreign
government officials, particularly if those services include
the creation of offshore accounts and facilities for large
personal funds transfers to channel funds into accounts around
the globe;
(8) United States anti-money laundering efforts are impeded
by outmoded and inadequate statutory provisions that make
investigations, prosecutions, and forfeitures more difficult,
particularly in cases in which money laundering involves
foreign persons, foreign banks, or foreign countries;
(9) the ability to mount effective counter-measures to
international money launderers requires national, as well as
bilateral and multilateral action, using tools specially
designed for that effort; and
(10) the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and
Supervisory Practices and the Financial Action Task Force on
Money Laundering, of both of which the United States is a
member, have each adopted international anti-money laundering
principles and recommendations.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
(1) to increase the strength of United States measures to
prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering
and the financing of terrorism;
(2) to ensure that--
(A) banking transactions and financial
relationships and the conduct of such transactions and
relationships, do not contravene the purposes of
subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States
Code, section 21 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
or chapter 2 of title I of Public Law 91-508 (84 Stat.
1116), or facilitate the evasion of any such provision;
and
(B) the purposes of such provisions of law continue
to be fulfilled, and that such provisions of law are
effectively and efficiently administered;
(3) to strengthen the provisions put into place by the
Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. 981 note),
especially with respect to crimes by non-United States
nationals and foreign financial institutions;
(4) to provide a clear national mandate for subjecting to
special scrutiny those foreign jurisdictions, financial
institutions operating outside of the United States, and
classes of international transactions that pose particular,
identifiable opportunities for criminal abuse;
(5) to provide the Secretary of the Treasury (in this title
referred to as the ``Secretary'') with broad discretion,
subject to the safeguards provided by the Administrative
Procedures Act under title 5, United States Code, to take
measures tailored to the particular money laundering problems
presented by specific foreign jurisdictions, financial
institutions operating outside of the United States, and
classes of international transactions;
(6) to ensure that the employment of such measures by the
Secretary permits appropriate opportunity for comment by
affected financial institutions;
(7) to provide guidance to domestic financial institutions
on particular foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions
operating outside of the United States, and classes of
international transactions that are of primary money laundering
concern to the United States Government;
(8) to ensure that the forfeiture of any assets in
connection with the anti-terrorist efforts of the United States
permits for adequate challenge consistent with providing due
process
2000
rights;
(9) to clarify the terms of the safe harbor from civil
liability for filing suspicious activity reports;
(10) to strengthen the authority of the Secretary to issue
and administer geographic targeting orders, and to clarify that
violations of such orders or any other requirement imposed
under the authority contained in chapter 2 of title I of Public
Law 91-508 and subchapters II and III of chapter 53 of title
31, United States Code, may result in criminal and civil
penalties;
(11) to ensure that all appropriate elements of the
financial services industry are subject to appropriate
requirements to report potential money laundering transactions
to proper authorities, and that jurisdictional disputes do not
hinder examination of compliance by financial institutions with
relevant reporting requirements;
(12) to fix responsibility for high level coordination of
the anti-money laundering efforts of the Department of the
Treasury;
(13) to strengthen the ability of financial institutions to
maintain the integrity of their employee population; and
(14) to strengthen measures to prevent the use of the
United States financial system for personal gain by corrupt
foreign officials and to facilitate the repatriation of any
stolen assets to the citizens of countries to whom such assets
belong.

organized or licensed in the United States; and

described in paragraph (1), the Secretary shall consider in

administration of the bank supervisory and
counter-money laundering laws of that
jurisdiction;
``(iv) the relationship between the volume
of financial transactions occurring in that
jurisdiction and the size of the economy of the
jurisdiction;

is characterized as a tax haven or offshore
banking or secrecy haven by credible
international organizations or multilateral
expert groups;

mutual legal assistance treaty with that
jurisdiction, and the experience of United
States law enforcement officials, regulatory
officials, and tax administrators in obtaining
information about transactions originating in
or routed through or to such jurisdiction; and

jurisdiction is characterized by high levels of
official or institutional corruption.

institution or institutions, or to a transaction or
class of transactions, or to a type of account, or to
all 3, within or involving a particular jurisdiction--

money laundering in or through the
jurisdiction;

purposes in the jurisdiction; and

to be fulfilled, and to guard against
international money laundering and other
financial crimes.

(a) Action by the President.--If the President determines that a

(c) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term

Subtitle C--Currency Crimes
SEC. 351. BULK CASH SMUGGLING.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) effective enforcement of the currency reporting
requirements of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code
(commonly referred to as the Bank Secrecy Act), and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, has forced drug dealers and
other criminals engaged in cash-based businesses to avoid using
traditional financial institutions;
(2) in their effort to avoid using traditional financial
institutions, drug dealers, and other criminals are forced to
move large quantities of currency in bulk form to and through
the airports, border crossings, and other ports of entry where
it can be smuggled out of the United States and placed in a
foreign financial institution or sold on the black market;
(3) the transportation and smuggling of cash in bulk form
may, at the time of enactment of this Act, be the most common
form of money laundering, and the movement of large sums of
cash is one of the most reliable warning signs of drug
trafficking, terrorism, money laundering, racketeering, tax
evasion, and similar crimes;
(4) the intentional transportation into or out of the
United States of large amounts of currency or monetary
instruments, in a manner designed to circumvent the mandatory
reporting provisions of chapter 53 of title 31, United States
Code, is the equivalent of, and creates the same harm as, the
smuggling of goods;
(5) the arrest and prosecution of bulk cash smugglers is an
important part of law enforcement's effort to stop the
laundering of criminal proceeds, but the couriers who attempt
to smuggle the cash out of the United States are typically low-
level employees of large criminal organizations, and are easily
replaced, and therefore only the confiscation of the smuggled
bulk cash can effectively break the cycle of criminal activity
of which the laundering of bulk cash is a critical part;
(6) the penalties for violations of the currency reporting
requirements of the chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code,
are insufficient to provide a deterrent to the laundering of
criminal proceeds;
(7) because the only criminal violation under Federal law
before the date of enactment of this Act was a reporting
offense, the law does not adequately provide for the
confiscation of smuggled currency; and
(8) if the smuggling of bulk cash were itself an offense,
the cash could be confiscated as the corpus delicti of the
smuggling offense.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
(1) to make the act of smuggling bulk cash itself a
criminal offense;
(2) to authorize forfeiture of any cash or instruments of
the smuggling offense;
(3) to emphasize the seriousness of the act of bulk cash
smuggling; and
(4) to prescribe guidelines for determining the amount of
property subject to such forfeiture in various situations.
(c) Bulk Cash Smuggling Offense.--
(1) In general.--Subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31,
United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the
following:
``Sec. 5331. Bulk cash smuggling
``(a) Criminal Offense.--
``(1) In general.--Whoever, with the intent to evade a
currency reporting requirement under section 5316, knowingly
conceals more than $10,000 in currency or other monetary
instruments on his or her person or in any conveyance, article
of luggage, merchandise, or other container, and transports or
transfers or attempts to transport or transfer the currency or
monetary instruments from a place within the United States to a
place outside of the United States, or from a place outside of
the United States to a place within the United States, shall be
guilty of a currency smuggling offense and subject to
punishment under subsection (b).
``(b) Penalties.--
``(1) Prison term.--A person convicted of a currency
smuggling offense under subsection (a), or a conspiracy to
commit such an offense, shall be imprisoned for not more than 5
years.
``(2) Forfeiture.--
``(A) In general.--In addition to a prison term
under paragraph (1), the court, in imposing sentence,
shall order that the defendant forfeit to the United
States any property, real or personal, involved in the
offense, and any property traceable to such property,
subject to subsection (d).
``(B) Applicability of other laws.--The seizure,
restraint, and forfeiture of property under this
2000
section shall be governed by section 413 of the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853). If the
property subject to forfeiture is unavailable, and the
defendant has no substitute property that may be
forfeited pursuant to section 413(p) of that Act, the
court shall enter a personal money judgment against the
defendant in an amount equal to the value of the
unavailable property.
``(c) Seizure of Smuggling Cash.--
``(1) In general.--Any property involved in a violation of
subsection (a), or a conspiracy to commit such violation, and
any property traceable thereto, may be seized and, subject to
subsection (d), forfeited to the United States.

under this subsection shall be governed by the procedures
governing civil forfeitures under section 981(a)(1)(A) of title
18, United States Code.
``(d) Proportionality of Forfeiture.--
``(1) Mitigation.--Upon a showing by the property owner by
a preponderance of the evidence that the currency or monetary
instruments involved in the offense giving rise to the
forfeiture were derived from a legitimate source and were
intended for a lawful purpose, the court shall reduce the
forfeiture to the maximum amount that is not grossly
disproportional to the gravity of the offense.
``(2) Considerations.--In determining the amount of the
forfeiture under paragraph (1), the court shall consider all
aggravating and mitigating facts and circumstances that have a
bearing on the gravity of the offense, including--
``(A) the value of the currency or other monetary
instruments involved in the offense;
``(B) efforts by the person committing the offense
to structure currency transactions, conceal property,
or otherwise obstruct justice; and
``(C) whether the offense is part of a pattern of
repeated violations of Federal law.
``(e) Rule of Construction.--For purposes of subsections (b) and
(c), any currency or other monetary instrument that is concealed or
intended to be concealed in violation of subsection (a) or a conspiracy
to commit such violation, any article, container, or conveyance used or
intended to be used to conceal or transport the currency or other
monetary instrument, and any other property used or intended to be used
to facilitate the offense, shall be considered property involved in the
offense.''.
(2) Clerical amendment.--The table of sections for chapter 53 of
title 31, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item
relating to section 5330 the following new item:
``5331. Bulk cash smuggling.''.
(d) Currency Reporting Violations.--Section 5317(c) of title 31,
United States Code, is amended to read as follows:
``(c) Forfeiture of Property.--
``(1) In general.--
``(A) Criminal forfeiture.--The court, in imposing
sentence for any violation of section 5313, 5316, or
5324, or any conspiracy to commit such violation, shall
order the defendant to forfeit all property, real or
personal, involved in the offense and any property
traceable thereto.
``(B) Applicable procedures.--Forfeitures under
this paragraph shall be governed by the procedures set
forth in section 413 of the Controlled Substances Act
(21 U.S.C. 853), and the guidelines set forth in
paragraph (3) of this subsection.
``(2) Civil forfeiture.--Any property involved in a
violation of section 5313, 5316, or 5324, or any conspiracy to
commit such violation, and any property traceable thereto, may
be seized and, subject to paragraph (3), forfeited to the
United States in accordance with the procedures governing civil
forfeitures in money laundering cases pursuant to section
981(a)(1)(A) of title 18, United States Code.
``(3) Mitigation.--In a forfeiture case under this
subsection, upon a showing by the property owner by a
preponderance of the evidence that any currency or monetary
instruments involved in the offense giving rise to the
forfeiture were derived from a legitimate source, and were
intended for a lawful purpose, the court shall reduce the
forfeiture to the maximum amount that is not grossly
disproportional to the gravity of the offense. In determining
the amount of the forfeiture, the court shall consider all
aggravating and mitigating facts and circumstances that have a
bearing on the gravity of the offense. Such circumstances
include, but are not limited to, the following: the value of
the currency or other monetary instruments involved in the
offense; efforts by the person committing the offense to
structure currency transactions, conceal property, or otherwise
obstruct justice; and whether the offense is part of a pattern

5316, or 5324 of title 31, or''.
Subtitle E--Anticorruption Measures
SEC. 361. CORRUPTION OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND RULING ELITES.
It is the sense of Congress that, in deliberations between the
United States Government and any other country on money laundering and
corruption issues, the United States Government should--
(1) emphasize an approach that addresses not only the
laundering of the proceeds of traditional criminal activity but
also the increasingly endemic problem of governmental
corruption and the corruption of ruling elites;
(2) encourage the enactment and enforcement of laws in such
country to prevent money laundering and systemic corruption;
(3) make clear that the United States will take all steps
necessary to identify the proceeds of foreign government
corruption which have been deposited in United States financial
institutions and return such proceeds to the citizens of the
country to whom such assets belong; and
(4) advance policies and measures to promote good
government and to prevent and reduce corruption and money
laundering, including through instructions to the United States
Executive Director of each international financial institution
(as defined in section 1701(c) of the International Financial
Institutions Act) to advocate such policies as a systematic
element of economic reform programs and advice to member

in as expeditious a manner as possible and publicly release a

2000

countermeasures to protect the United States economy against

same.
SEC. 363. TERRORIST FUNDING THROUGH MONEY LAUNDERING.
It is the sense of the Congress that, in deliberations and
negotiations between the United States Government and any other country

(1) to take actions which would identify and prevent the
transmittal of funds to and from terrorists and terrorist
organizations; and

with the United States and other countries to identify
suspected terrorists, terrorist organizations, and persons
supplying funds to and receiving funds from terrorists and
terrorist organizations.
