The Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation (Russian: Федеральная служба по финансовому мониторингу; Росфинмониторинг) (known as Rosfinmonitoring) is a Federal Service that was created by a decree of President Vladimir Putin of November 1, 2001, and aimed to collect and analyze information about financial transactions in order to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. The organization also provides lists of people accused of terrorist or "extremist" activities and books.[1]
From November 1, 2001, to March 9, 2004, it was called Financial Monitoring Committee (Russian: Комитет по финансовому мониторингу). It has been led by Viktor Zubkov from the very beginning.
Rosfinmonitoring is considered as Russia's main body for financial intelligence.
