To amend section 5326(a), of title 31, United States Code, to clarify that an order may be issued that covers the entirety of the United States, to amend section 5314 of title 31, United States Code, to allow the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to obtain necessary information concerning foreign non-financial trades or businesses involved in illicit financial activities, including those of Russian and Belarussian oligarchs, and for other purposes.
Nowhere to Hide Oligarchs' Assets Act
This bill expands the scope of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's (FinCEN's) authority to obtain records related to financial crimes. Specifically, FinCEN may request a nationwide geographic targeting order requiring additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to domestic financial institutions or nonfinancial trades or businesses. Under current law, such an order must be limited to a specific geographic area.
Additionally, the bill expands existing recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to U.S. residents, citizens, and entities when transacting with a foreign financial agency to also include transactions with a foreign nonfinancial trade or business.
