Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Mexico)

The situation of violence and impunity that prevails in the national territory is surely due to the lack of adequate policies in the fight against organized crime, when reflecting on the measures implemented by the Government of Mexico to avoid the problem, it can be observed that an effective action would be the seizure of illicitly obtained economic resources, which would significantly weaken criminal organizations. It is thought that the most effective measure to minimize criminal action has been provided in the concert of nations since there is a legal instrument consisting of a series of 40 recommendations that when implemented would prevent the flow of illicitly obtained capital. Crime is a social cancer, the realization of illicit activities has its strength in the economic resources that it generates and that can be used to buy wills and corrupt authorities, if there were good ways of detecting money laundering, it would help in the fight against organized crime.
