Rosfinmonitoring (the Federal Financial Monitoring Service) is Russia’s financial intelligence unit. It is the central node of the country’s anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing (AML/CFT) system.
What it does
- Oversees compliance with 115-FZ — the principal AML law.
- Collects suspicious-transaction reports from banks, exchanges, on-ramps and other obliged entities.
- Maintains the list of persons tied to terrorism and extremism; their funds are subject to freezing.
- Analyses financial flows and cooperates with law-enforcement agencies.
How it touches crypto
Crypto flows come into view indirectly — through the banks and exchangers that are required to report suspicious activity. Repeated large P2P purchases can trigger a source-of-funds request. De-anonymisation starts with KYC at an exchange: from then on an address’s history is linked to an identity.
