1. Draft Global Strategy
to Counter Organized Crime
1. Special IMF session to agree to
•
•
upgraded bank transfer software
create a new intergovernmental body (IB) to share
information on money laundering, and coordinate
prosecution strategies
1. The IB formalized under
•
•
•
•
the IMF
some UN mechanism like UNDCP
a transition unit at OECD, or as
a new international organization established through
a future protocol to the ICC and/or the Palermo
Treaty.

2. Strategy (continued)
3. The IB would use information technology to
•
•
•
•
monitor the money laundering locations
publish money laundering trends
create a list on those money launders prioritized by
amount of money laundered on a real-time basis;
hence,
provide a more empirical basis to select priorities for
global collaboration

3. Strategy (continued)
4. New software
•
•
not backwardly compatible
banks cooperate or be frozen out of the international system
4. Deputize Courts - Sovereignty Issue
–
•
•
location for prosecution would be set by the IB on a lottery or some
random basis among previously volunteered courts with trained
personnel (training of judges, magistrates and prosecutors and related
regulatory agencies, police, army, custom officials, financial
investigators, tax auditors etc.)
this might come under a new protocol to the Palermo Treaty, the ICC,
or a new treaty to “deputize” courts as the UN Security Council
“deputizes” armies into Peace-keeping forces).
The international agreement would have to include that the IB would
be able to authorize the freezing of assets prior to arrest and the
transfer of assets after conviction.

4. Strategy (continued)
6. Staff in the IB’s situation room would:
• Identify money laundering locations and rank order accounts
• Identify a top criminal and prepare the legal case
• Identify his assets, access what can be frozen, and readiness of
banks to freeze them (MOUs for freezing assets with pre-decision
protocol for court orders)
• Identify where the criminal is now and readiness of local
authorities to make the arrest
• Deputize court and its readiness to move immediately
• Then and only then would all actions be executed at once, if
anyone of the conditions were not met, then go down the rank
ordered list of top money launders to the next until all conditions
are met
• Do only one at a time, until money from assets of the convicted
can afford to prosecute two at a time.

5. Strategy (continued)

Part of the strategy is to use global resources of the
IB on one arrest at a time. As cases are won, funds
from frozen assets could go into the IB to allow it
to coordinate on more than one arrest at a time.
Although initial funding for the IB would come
from governments, it would no longer take money
from governments but earn its way via successful
convictions' disbursements of frozen assets.
Government police and courts used would also be
paid from such frozen assets.
Once the trial is underway and the evidence seems
complete, the IB could then focus on the next
person on the list.
