Abstract

The issues connected with counteracting the legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime and terrorism financing are topical issues in modern society. In order to solve these problems, the global system to counter this criminal phenomenon has been created. The Russian Federation is
one of the member states of the intergovernmental organization “The Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering” (FATF). The system for combating the laundering of proceeds of crime and
terrorism financing, including the law enforcement system, the subjects of which perform specific tasks to identify, suppress and investigate relevant crimes, has been established in the Russian state.
The effectiveness of law enforcement agencies activities depends on the established cooperation with the Federal Financial Monitoring Service, which starts from the stage of the initiation of a criminal
case and can continue throughout the whole criminal investigation process. These state bodies carry out mutual exchange of information on suspicious transactions of the persons whose activities can be
connected with the legalization of proceeds of crime. The criteria for assessing the relevance of the results of financial investigations by law enforcement agencies and supervisory authorities are discussed
in the article. The problems and shortcomings of the interaction between law enforcement agencies and Rosfinmonitoring have been revealed, the ways of their elimination are proposed
