US push to tighten money laundering laws noted by DOJ officials
U S law enforcement told a congressional panel that current money laundering laws are weak and fail to criminalize bulk cash smuggling. DOJ official Mary Lee Warren cited the $10,000 reporting rule as the sole illegality and highlighted examples of lax penalties. An international task force added 15 countries to a blacklist for failing to curb money laundering. Officials cited about $63 billion in cash in drug trade flowing out of the United States annually.
