新加坡总理黄循财：采取强硬措施打击金融犯罪，重点是洗钱、恐怖主义融资

同样重要的是，我们的措施不要过于狂热，不要不必要地扼杀合法的活动和投资。

因此，我们重点了解金融行业中可能被犯罪分子利用的最新趋势和发展，并制定工具和法律框架，能够尽早发现可疑人和活动。

我们的方法能够迅速而有力地对试图利用新加坡洗钱的犯罪分子采取执法行动。

去年八月，执法机构进行了全球规模最大的反洗钱行动之一。

在我们发现违法活动迹象后，我们进行了广泛的调查。

我们从27名嫌疑人那里查封了超过30亿新元的资产。

自被逮捕以来，已有10名嫌疑人在一年内被判有罪。他们约9.4亿新元的资产已被没收归国家所有，这超过了我们从他们那里查封的资产的90%以上。

对目前正在海外的另外17名嫌疑人的调查仍在进行中。

从这次行动中获得的经验和教训将被用来加强我们的法规和执法工作。

总结

总结来说，新加坡荣幸地担任了过去两年的FATF主席国，并感谢所有代表团的支持。在过去两年里取得的成就，离不开大家对我们共同使命的持续承诺和对FATF工作的贡献。

我相信，在即将上任的墨西哥主席国的领导下，金融行动特别工作组将继续取得重大进展，我们将着手进行即将举行的一轮相互评估，以帮助成员国在面对不断变化的威胁时加强其监管和执行机制。

在此，祝愿您在新加坡举行的全体会议取得丰硕和富有成效的成果。

以下是英文质询内容：

Let me start by extending to all delegates a very warm welcome to Singapore. This year marks the 35th anniversary of FATF. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate FATF on reaching this milestone.

FATF was originally formed with 16 members to stop drug traffickers and cartels from laundering their ill-gotten gains.

Today, it has become a global organisation with a wider mandate. The standards developed by FATF are used by over 200 jurisdictions to combat money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing.

Your efforts have ensured the safety and integrity of the global financial system and made the world a safer place.

New Threats

While we have made progress, criminals are always looking for opportunities and loopholes to exploit. The fight against financial crime is an ongoing battle, and we must stay vigilant and continually evolve to tackle new threats.

In recent years, the rise of digital transactions has made it easier to buy and sell goods and services. But it has also presented new opportunities for criminals to commit crimes, like scams.

The advent of virtual assets and increasing availability of digital payment channels have also made it easier for criminals to move and hide their illicit proceeds. They are able to operate across borders, and exploit the information silos that exist between national law enforcement agencies.

No country can address these threats by itself. That is why the FATF’s work in leading a coordinated global effort has become more important. In this regard, I am glad to note the progress that FATF has made over the recent years in addressing these challenges.
