Prevention of e-money laundering: Defensive approach and offensive approach

Prevention of e-money laundering has a defensive aspect from two perspectives.One of the perspectives of the crime scene is cyberspace, which,with protecting the subject of crime takes precedence over preventing the occurrence of crime,and preventive measures are in the position of protecting computer values so that the perpetrator does not touch them.Unlike crime prevention in the traditional or physical space,the authority to act is in the hands of the perpetrators, but in cyberspace,the perpetrator is in the hands of the perpetrators, and the perpetrator is more of a guard than an opportunity to commit a crime.The second is from the perspective of electronic financial exchanges, which are based on features such as speed, mass and spatial diversity in practice,out of reach of preventive measures.What will be an open environment for mastering and creating controlling software measures is only the limited financial institutions,but this mastery in exchanges is minimized. In this regard,the prevention officer inevitably resorts to a defensive approach in crime prevention.This article,based on library and Internet resources and in a descriptive and analytical manner, tries to examine the challenges and strategies to prevent e-money laundering from the point of view of defensive and offensive measures.The approach is based on the defense approach in the prevention of e-money laundering,according to which the values of cyberspace on the one hand and the effectiveness of preventive measures in cyberspace on the other require financial exchanges in cyberspace in terms of origin.And control the origin and the direction of the exchange path.
