We defend entities and individuals accused of violating federal anti-money laundering (AML) laws in matters involving the DOJ, FBI, FinCEN, and other agencies.
Last Updated: 2021-10-03
Federal authorities view the use of domestic entities to launder money from terrorist and other illicit activities as one of the chief threats to the United States’ national security. Beginning with the enactment of the Bank Secrecy Act in 1970, Congress has enacted several laws over the past 50-plus years that are designed specifically to prevent, detect, and punish U.S. entities that serve as intermediaries for “cleaning” illegally-obtained funds.
These anti-money laundering (AML) laws are now deeply engrained in the federal law enforcement system, and several agencies investigate and assist in the prosecution of financial institutions, firms, corporations, and individuals suspected of AML violations. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) are the most active in this area, and they often work together to bring charges through targeted investigations and large-scale takedowns.
Former Federal Prosecutors and Agents Experienced in AML Matters
At Oberheiden P.C., our AML lawyers include former federal prosecutors who previously spent decades aiding in the federal government’s fight against white-collar crime. We also utilize the services of former FBI and DOJ agents who are similarly experienced in financial crime and other white-collar criminal matters.
