A BRIEF HISTORY OF COUNTERFEIT MONEY

Where there is money there is counterfeit money. Counterfeit money is an easy way of getting rich.

Twenty seven centuries ago the rulers of the Eastern Mediterranean countries began to mint coins. Counterfeiting emerged almost simultaneously with the appearance of money. The Athenian laws dating from the 6th century meted out severe punishment to unauthorized persons minting money.

Production of counterfeit money undermines the state's principal monopoly, emission of currency, and has always been regarded as one of the most serious crimes. In medieval Europe in the 15th and 17th centuries great amounts of counterfeit money in circulation ruined the money systems of a number of countries. Rulers of states often went into the counterfeit business themselves whenever they needed replenish their treasures emptied by wars or other disasters.

With the introduction of paper money, specialists in counterfeiting it also appeared. The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw the rise of counterfeiting money of certain states by hostile countries intent on undermining their economy. On the eve of Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 counterfeiting of 25, 50, and 100 ruble banknotes was started in Paris. Dozens of million of rubles of counterfeit money were brought to Russia by Napoleon's army. In 1813, the Russian government exchanged counterfeit banknotes for genuine money and destroyed the faked money. The process went on for more than ten years. The country lost much money. In 1820 seven million rubles were paid for the counterfeit banknotes withdrawn from circulation. To compare: only five million rubles were spent on rebuilding Moscow burned down in 1812.

Now governments fight this evil by sentencing the culprits to long terms of punishments and continually improving the safeguards against counterfeiting.

SUBSTANTIVE OFFENCES

One crime has to be concealed by another.

Seneca (4 BC – 65 AD)

Without a crime, there is no money laundering. So money laundering investigations always have to start off by determining the crime behind the money. This is known in legal circles as the «substantive offence».

The substantive offence can be any serious crime, but usually it's some kind of organized crime activity such as drugs, fraud or theft. In recent years, the substantive offence under investigation is more and more often a crime of violence. Although the traditional crimes involving violence are extortion, armed robbery or kidnapping, the substantive offence that leads to money laundering can also be a conspiracy (заговор, преступный сговор) to commit a terrorist act. The people or governments that provide money to a terrorist organization to finance the terrorist act must launder it to conceal not only its source but also its purpose.

The substantive offence also varies from country to country. In the United States, drug trafficking is considered to be the primary substantive offence to money laundering. In a place like India it's usually tax evasion.
