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;
(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 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.

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

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).
`(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.
`(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 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.
`(2) APPLICABLE PROCEDURES- A seizure and forfeiture 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.'.

violation of section 5313, 5316, or 5324, or any conspiracy to commit such

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 of repeated
violations.

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--

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 governments.

(2) the FATF should identify noncooperative jurisdictions in as
expeditious a manner as possible and publicly release a list directly naming

naming noncooperative jurisdictions identified by the FATF;

funds to and from terrorists and terrorist organizations; and
