International Narcotics Control Strategy Report 2001 (issued March 1, 2002): Money Laundering and Financial Crimes

US State Department INCSR 2001 (issued 1 March 2002), Money Laundering and Financial Crimes volume: introduction on offshore financial centres (economic citizenship paragraph: Belize, Dominica and St Kitts & Nevis sold inadequately controlled economic citizenships in 2001, Grenada suspended, Nauru sells; two buyers of Belizean citizenship at $25,000 apiece in December 2001 linked to a terrorist group, Belize to stop in January 2002; Antigua internet gaming licence fees, not programme), definitions for the Offshore Financial Services chart (the chart itself is a separate page, not in this file), US legislation and SAR material, international organisations (CFATF 2002 typologies on Caribbean economic citizenship programmes), and country reports for about 200 jurisdictions. Programme content in country reports: Belize (selling as of December 2001, no numbers), Dominica (approximately US$50,000 or US$75,000 in bonds; approximately 500 economic citizenships 1996-2000; PRC nationals using it to reach the US via Canada, no numbers), Grenada (reportedly suspended October 2001; FIBG founder bought a Grenadian passport; FIBG liabilities US$206 million and assets US$46 million are bank figures, not programme), St Kitts and Nevis ('improperly regulated economic citizenship program', no numbers; offshore company and trust counts are not programme), St Vincent (programme revoked April 2001, no passports issued: already in the data as an event). Belize price, Belize visa refusals and closure, SVG revocation and Nauru event were already taken from this source and were not repeated. 'Two individuals purchased' in December 2001 was not recorded as a count: it describes one incident, not a programme total for the month. Everything else (offshore banks, IBCs, gaming, AML laws, FATF listings) is not about the programmes. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
