Deputy Head of the Legal Department of Rosfinmonitoring Daniil Burda took part in a Special Meeting of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) on financial integrity. The event took place at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.

“Today, I would like to share national experience in this area. In the regulatory sphere, Russia has approved the Concept of the State System for Countering Illegal Acts Committed Using ICT to improve detection, prevention, and investigation of ICT-related crimes. The concept aims to protect the state, society, and citizens. In addition, we have developed the Transparent Blockchain software tool to monitor and analyze virtual asset transactions,” Daniil Burda said.

He highlighted the need to develop a comprehensive international legal instrument that would help effectively prevent and investigate cross-border money laundering crimes.
