Les sentinelles bancaires de l'antiblanchiment : acteurs privés et policing économique
Abstract : Private actors in finance, especially in the banking industry, play a leading role in the campaign, institutionalized during the 1990s, against money-laundering. Assigned the duty of detecting dubious transactions in their establishments, they are supposed to inform Tracfin, a finance intelligence unit located in the French Ministry of Finance, of their suspicions. The latter decides whether to alert judicial authorities. A set of interviews conducted with the ‘compliance officers’ in banks who supervise the implementation of regulations against money-laundering are analyzed in order to understand how persons whose normal duties are oriented toward commercial activities based on a high regard for privacy are being led to assume police duties and how they are performing in this new role.
