The head of Rosfinmonitoring, Yuri Chikhanchin, told Vladimir Putin about this and more. The president himself said practically nothing in the meeting with the head of financial intelligence, but he listened carefully.

And this is the most important thing in the report to the head of the country:

– They are trying to exclude Russia from the main international anti-money laundering organizations, but so far without success. True, we were still excluded from the rapid exchange of information.

– After the start of sanctions against our major banks, many clients switched to smaller banks. And some took advantage of this for their dark actions.

– A lot of work has been done here together with the Central Bank, and today we can say that the country’s financial institutions and financial organizations quite respect the law, around 90% respect it. We are still working at ten percent,” Chikhanchin said.

Thanks to control over small banks, 320 billion rubles did not enter shadow circulation.

More and more financial pyramids appear on the Internet. Young people are used as dolls.

– They voluntarily hand over their facility data to carry out shadow schemes in exchange for a small reward. And when people don’t know it, they just buy it. Growth tripled this year. Young people who participate in these types of schemes ruin their lives and their credit history. That is, it will be difficult for them to open bank accounts, obtain loans, etc.,” said the director of Rosfinmonitoring.

Cryptocurrencies are increasingly being used by criminals.

– Money laundering from drug sales? – Putin clarified.

– Yes. And, unfortunately, terrorism is also used here,” added Chikhanchin.

But control over budget money has been improved. Financial intelligence monitors 1.5 million contracts worth 6.5 trillion. rubles

“Budget funds worth 30 billion rubles have been saved,” the official noted.

Half of this amount comes from new regions. The theft of 14.5 billion rubles for reconstruction aid was prevented.

The Financial Literacy Olympics are gaining popularity. 6 million people already participate in it.

– Incredible. “It is a large number of people,” the president was surprised.
