The U.S. Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit has created a division that will be responsible for identifying foreign money-laundering threats.

美国财政部下属的金融犯罪执法部门成立了一个负责识别外国洗钱威胁的新机构。

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network said Wednesday that the Global Investigations Division will oversee investigations into terrorist financing and other crimes involving illicit finance, working closely with foreign governments. The division will be led by Matthew Stiglitz, who was previously a senior official in the Justice Department’s criminal division.

美国金融犯罪执法网络(The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, 简称FinCEN)周三表示，全球调查司(Global Investigations Division)将负责监督恐怖主义融资和其他涉及非法金融的相关犯罪调查，并与外国政府密切合作。该部门将由Matthew Stiglitz领导，他曾是司法部刑事部门的高级官员。

The Global Investigations Division will oversee the Treasury’s strategy for taking action in response to a range of possible threats to national security.

全球调查司将监督美国财政部应对一系列潜在国家安全威胁的行动战略。

The Treasury has the power under Section 311 of the Patriot Act to designate foreign jurisdictions or institutions as a primary money-laundering concern. Under the law, the Treasury can also require U.S. financial institutions to adopt relevant controls.

根据《爱国者法案》(Patriot Act)第311条，美国财政部有权将外国司法管辖区或机构指定为主要洗钱隐患。根据这项法律，财政部还可以要求美国金融机构采取相关的控制措施。

The new division replaces FinCEN’s Office of Special Measures, which was previously part of the enforcement division, according to the statement.

根据FinCEN发布的一份声明，新部门取代了FinCEN的特别措施办公室(Office of Special Measures)，后者曾是执法部门的一部分。
