Putin called for strengthening the control over the finances of the Russians The Russian financial intelligence should strengthen the control over "suspicious" financial transactions in the market, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. "It is necessary to simplify procedures at the same time for bona fide market participants. And at the same time tighten the supervision of suspicious transactions," said the head of state at a celebration dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Rosfinmonitoring. According to him, the Russian financial system is threatened by foreign criminal groups and foreign intelligence services. They, Putin said, use various tools, including cryptocurrencies and other payment mechanisms, to "cover shadow transactions" and also involve young people in illegal activities. "Your task is to see, so to speak, remote posts, before they cause real damage, and to do this, effectively use financial intelligence tools, more actively apply advanced analytical models and artificial intelligence technologies," the president said.
