Crime Awareness and Combat: why is it celebrated on October 29?
October 29th is Money Laundering Prevention Day. This date was established with the aim of promoting awareness and education about money laundering and its impacts on society
The choice of October 18th is related to the importance of mobilizing society and institutions to combat this crime, which affects not only the economy, but also the integrity of the financial system and public safety. Money laundering is a process that aims to hide the illicit origin of resources, making them appear legal, and can be linked to criminal activities such as drug trafficking, corruption and smuggling. The date seeks to integrate efforts between public and private institutions and civil society, reinforcing the importance of working together to build a more transparent and secure financial system.
