At the July 1989 economic summit in Paris, the Group of Seven countries set up the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), whose brief is to prevent banks and financial institutions from laundering the proceeds of criminal activities - in particular, sales of controlled substances, organized criminal activities, and manipulation of markets by insiders. The FATF, which has 28 member countries and governments, primarily from the industrial world, encourages countries to make money laundering a criminal activity in itself (many have already done so); it also seeks to strengthen international cooperation between criminal investigation agencies and the judiciaries in different countries.

OBS

Le Groupe d'action financière sur le blanchiment de capitaux a été créé lors du sommet du G-7 de juillet 1989, à Paris, et s'est vu confier la tâche d'empêcher les banques et les établissements financiers de blanchir le produit des activités criminelles, et en particulier du trafic de stupéfiants, des activités du crime organisé et de la manipulation des marchés par des initiés. Ce groupe, dont les 28 membres appartiennent pour la plupart au monde industrialisé, encourage les pays à classer le blanchiment de l'argent parmi les activités criminelles (nombre d'entre eux ont déjà franchi le pas); il préconise également un resserrement de la coopération internationale entre les autorités judiciaires compétentes de tous les pays.
