Upcoming Events
September 18th 2019: Trade Based Money Laundering Conference
TraCCC will be hosting a full day conference on the very serious problem of trade-based money laundering. Multiple panels with specialists from the financial community, government, ACAMS, think-tanks, NGOs and academics will discuss this phenomenon which is still extensively used to move large amounts of illicit funds tied to corruption, illicit trade, transnational crime and terrorism. Much of the money movement of the Panama Papers and the Troika laundromat was tied to trade-based money laundering. This conference will explore the complex ways in which this presently underregulated form of money laundering operates and discuss strategies to address it.
Date: September 18, 2019, 8:00am-5:00 pm
Location: GMU Van Metre Hall, 3351 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA (Virginia Square Metro Stop)
