In July 2024 The Republic of Belarus ratified the Agreement on Education International Centre for Legalization Risk Assessment (laundering) Proceeds of crime and terrorist financing (IDC). The parties to the agreement, apart from Belarus, are: Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. In the future, other countries may join the IDRC.
The Agreement provides for the creation of a unified information system of the IDC by the participating countries. In Belarus, the so-called "responsible" for filling and utilization of the IDC information arrays is defined as ".Financial Monitoring Department of the State Control Committee". Within the framework of ICDC activities it is envisaged to transfer to a single information system various information (including those containing banking or other legally protected secrets) on volumes and characteristics "suspicious" financial transactions that may be related to money laundering and terrorist financing.
Let us explain what is the potential danger for Belarusianswho made financial transactions using the banking systems of the above-mentioned countries. It is well known that The Lukashists' interpretation of the term "terrorism" differs significantly from the generally accepted one. It now means making "wrong" reactions, comments on social networks and video platforms, participation in peaceful protest actions, financial support of political prisoners and democratic organizations. Thus, The ICER information system will be used by the Minsk regime to carry out political repression.
BELPOL urges all Belarusians to take their safety more seriously.
Long Live Belarus!
