20th Parliamentary Intelligence-Security Forum – Illicit finance, financial integrity software solutions, biological warfare

Next, Mr. Mariano Federici speaks on behalf of Risk of Corruption stemming from Latin America. To him and his peers, political context greatly matters in the efforts in line to stop financial crime. Mr. Federici then dives into recent troubles in Latin America. Democracy in countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua have has greatly backtracked in recent years; in its place, totalitarianism has expanded and only continues to grow in

foothold. The US and its Allies need a plan to end such a virus.

As of late, such countries backed by illicit finance seem to operate in primitive manners. Mr. Federici cites that it is greatly obvious to even the most uninformed on the situation through a simple question: “Where does all of their money come from?” As anti- American Chavismo continues to run through Latin America, countries like China, Iran, and Russia also hop onto the opportunity and exert more of their own influence. Mr. Federici finishes in his predicament to help parliamentarians everywhere, especially in Latin America, continue to fight against countries directly using crime to fund their evil strategies.
