Question 14811 — banks and financial institutions

Summary

Mr. Luc Geismar questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty on Tracfin's consideration of fraud according to their amounts. Tracfin, as an intelligence service placed under the authority of the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, plays a vital role in preserving the integrity of the French financial system. His fighting mission against clandestine financial circuits, money laundering and the financing of terrorism is essential to guarantee the security of transactions and citizens' trust in financial institutions. However, growing concern is emerging within the National Assembly and among banking establishments. It seems that Tracfin mainly focuses its efforts on fraud of very large amounts, sometimes leaving aside smaller cases, but just as worrying. A concrete example is that of a bank having reported a suspicious transaction of 200,000 euros. Despite the seriousness of the situation and the evidence provided, no response was received from Tracfin within the legal deadline of 10 days, leading to legal consequences for the establishment. Although 200,000 euros may seem like a modest amount on the scale of Tracfin, it is crucial to remember that numerous similar cases, cumulatively, represent substantial sums of money and can have significant repercussions on public confidence in institutions. Faced with this situation, he asks what measures the ministry plans to implement to guarantee that Tracfin treats all fraud reports with the same diligence and responsiveness, regardless of their amount, in order to ensure complete and fair protection of the financial system.
