EDITORIAL INFORMATION
an alarming reality
By Carlos Torres Moyano
The bill submitted to Congress by the Executive, at the initiative of President Mrs. Dr. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, in order to amend the Criminal Code, with regard to Law 25246, which defines money laundering as "separate offense" and has an opinion in plenary commissions Criminal Law and Finance and incorporates new "obligated" within that law. These amendments to the Penal Code allows the Court to act imposing penalties not released, lawyers, political parties and members are obliged to report suspicious movements of funds. Tougher controls will become more difficult financial transactions in banks and will also control the unions. Some "political policies" intended to take away powers to the State to act, but the rule was passed by 181 affirmative votes, none negative, with 7 abstentions. It is vital to our country ceases to be liable to a suspected and international condemnation for lack of legal instruments to combat and control the laundering of money derived from drug trafficking, arms sales and other related crimes condemned by the FATF (Group Action International Finance), which regulate this issue in the world and the next June, will meet to address these issues. Recall that our country esmiembro full of that organization, so it is bound by these circumstances, policy instruments have been approved and resolved. Fortunately this bill was passed with some amendments, which favor greater participation of the FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit), an agency of the State exercising such controls.
In this issue we are obliged to make some comments
linked to drug trafficking, for which only give you some figures that have to do with this topic: According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC, for its acronym in English) the quantities of drugs produced in the world is 1,000,000 kilograms of cocaine, 8,870,000 kilos of opium, 41,400,000 kilos of marijuana and 500,000 kilos of amphetamines number where we will surely fall short, representing mobility in economic and financial figures, on the order of $ 600,000 million, which necessarily have any impact on the banking world in the foreground and in the countries that produce and those who consume it in second place. And always on official figures have the following data: Afghanistan accounts for 92% of production opium planting of 200,000 hectares of poppy from which opium is converted into morphine or heroin and flows to Europe and America through Pakistan, former Soviet republics of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan and Kurdish long corridor of Georgia Chechnya and the Balkans. The rest of the production, or 8% as concrete Myanmar with 30,000 hectares of poppy. Colombia
owns 55% of coca leaves, with 100,000 hectares, Peru Bolivia with 30,000 to 25,000 Hr Hs knowledge triangle on increased production of cocaine in the world whose main markets are the United States and Europe.
transfer routes of cocaine hydrochloride are two the highest weighting. Up through the Pacific via Panama or by the Colombian Caribbean, Venezuela crossing a stopover in the Caribbean with United States destination. Where consume 10% of its population, or 30,000,000 million consumers between 15 and 64 years of age, (pay attention to the data of the 300 million people that this country has.) The other route across the Atlantic and touched Africa before entering Europe, with 3,000,000 consumers. In this elemental quantification we do, we ignore the economic value of the money handled by the organized crime in the world. Subjects which will leave for other publishers, and so inform our respectable readers the importance of this Act which has just sanctioned in our country.
