Outdated technology and short staffing hinder the government’s ability to combat sophisticated money laundering schemes by drug traffickers and terrorists.
That’s a problem for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE. A department watchdog said the agency’s “limited ability to identify and combat” what Washington callsWith these schemes, “criminal organizations use illicit cash to buy goods, which are imported and sold in another country.
ICE has “prioritized replicating the most needed features from the previous legacy system while concurrently developing” a new one, Aguilar wrote, which will “enable automated identification of TBML activity in the future.” Despite old IT, short staffing and the complexities of modern money laundering, ICE arrested 444 people and seized more than $356 million through trade-based investigations from fiscal 2019 through 2021, the audit found.Investigations by ICE, the Internal Revenue Service and other agencies led to the convictions of Virginia Garcia Moreta and Hector Rodriguez Mendez, who were sentenced to 70 and 63 months in prison, respectively, in October.
