Abstract

Atık ticareti aracılığı ile değer transferi yöntemi resmi finansal kurumlar kullanılmadan atığın içinde değer aktarımı için kullanılmaktadır. Atık ticareti yöntemi bankacılık sisteminde yüksek işlem maliyetlerinden kurtulmak, denetimden kaçınma ve transfer risklerinden kaçınma gibi çeşitli amaçlarla tercih edilmektedir. Ayrıca, tersine para aklamaya imkân sağlayan ve evrak gerektirmeyen gayri resmi bir değer aktarım mekanizması olan atık ticareti yöntemi, gizlilik ve personel güvenliği ön planda olduğu için terör örgütleri ve organize suç grupları tarafından istismar olasılığı ile çevrilidir. Küreselleşme ve toksikomani sömürgeciliği çağında değer tipik olarak atık ticaret ağı aracılığıyla gelişmiş ülkelerden gelişmekte olan veya gelişmemiş ülkelere aktarılır ve atık ticareti yöntemi yoluyla yapılan değer transferi, hükümetin başarısızlığına neden olabilir, ekonomi güvenliğini tehdit edebilir, hatta gelişmekte olan ekonomiler için daha yüksek sosyal maliyetler oluşturabilir. Bu fenomenin kara para aklama doğası şimdiye kadar mevcut araştırmalarda ihmal edilmiştir. Çalışmada atık ticareti yöntemine, zehirli sömürgecilik ve atık ticareti yönetiminin kara para aklama üzerindeki rolüne ve bu bağlamda organize suç gruplarının istismarını önlemeye yönelik geliştirilebilecek stratejilere dikkat çekilmektedir.

The Role of Waste Trade Method on Money Laundering

Abstract

The waste trade method is used to transfer value inside the waste without the use of formal financial institutions. It can be used for different reasons, such as reducing high transaction costs in the banking system, minimizing auditing and transfer risks. Also, the waste trade method as an informal value transfer mechanism, which offers reverse money laundering and requires no paperwork, is surrounded by the possibility of abuse by terrorist organizations and organized crime groups, since secrecy and personal security are at the foreground. In an era of globalization and toxic colonialism, the value is typically transferred from developed countries to emerging or undeveloped countries through a waste trade network and the value transfer by waste trade can cause government failure, threaten economic security and even higher social costs for emerging economies. To date, the essence of money laundering of this phenomenon has been neglected in current research. This study will highlight the method of waste trade, the role of toxic colonialism and waste trade in third-party money laundering. And, in this sense, strategies can be established to mitigate the violence of terrorist organizations and organized crime groups.
