I had a moment of optimism - here's a🧵on 7 reasons why 2022 could be a big year for the fight against dirty money and global corruption. 1/8 thefactcoalition.org/2022-is-shapin…
1. The U.S. Strategy to Counter Corruption could be more than a flash in the pan, with concrete commitments and key opportunities such as the Summit of the Americas to follow through. 2/8 thefactcoalition.org/fact-coalition…
2. The @USTreasury is on its way to forcefully implementing the historic Corporate Transparency Act to put an end to anonymous shell companies. 3/8 thefactcoalition.org/corporate-tran…
3. Billions of 💰 are laundered through 🇺🇸 real estate as @FACTCoalition member @IllicitFlows reported last year. Now @USTreasury #FinCEN seems serious about creating a national regime to combat the problem. 4/8 gfintegrity.org/report/acres-o…
4. The $11 trillion private investment industry is huge, opaque, complex - and full of money laundering risks. Again, @POTUS and @USTreasury appear finally ready to close this gaping hole in our anti-money laundering regime. 5/8 thefactcoalition.org/report-launch-…
5. There's greater hope that climate, environment, and anti-corruption activists will join forces AND financial crime fighting groups are paying greater attention to financial aspects of environmental crimes. 6/8 thefactcoalition.org/now-is-the-tim…
6. New global alliances are driving transatlantic parliamentary cooperation to fight dirty money. The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance against Kleptocracy includes bi-partisan members of the U.S. @KleptoCaucus and European lawmakers 7/8 …leptocracycaucus-malinowski.house.gov/ipak#:~:text=T…
7. Congress may provide new corruption fighting tools through a reauthorized "Global Magnitsky" and measures to criminalize foreign demands for corruption. @transparencyUSA has more. Join us to make 2022 an epic anti-corruption year! 8/8 us.transparency.org/news/house-pas…
