Greening White-Collar Crime: Transforming Anti-Money Laundering Enforcement into an Instrument Against Environmental Crime

Diplôme Master Greening White-Collar Crime: Transforming Anti-Money Laundering Enforcement into an Instrument Against Environmental Crime eng 2022 author Oberle Chiara Sophia 832904 director Zulauf Urs 842114 98 This paper provides a response to and analyses the practical implementation of the Financial Action Task Force’s 2021 Report on Money-Laundering from Environmental Crime in Switzerland. It argues that the FATF is the structurally and politically ideal forum to force action in financial sectors on humanitarian issues and showcases the FATF’s impact on a traditional financial hub such as Switzerland. It then demonstrates that, while administrative environmental law and enforcement fails to address environmental crimes at the core of the Report, Swiss statutory and jurisprudential anti-money laundering law can apply extraterritorially to prosecute profiteers from environmental degradation. While recognizing their political limitations, the paper then proposes legislative and policy amendments to permit the implementation of the FATF’s Report in Switzerland.
