The FinCEN Files are leaked documents from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) that have been investigated by International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).[1][2] The reports describe over 200,000 suspicious financial transactions valued at over US$2 trillion that occurred from 1999 to 2017 across multiple global financial institutions.[1] The documents appear to show that whilst the United States Government had received this financial intelligence they did little to stop activities such as money laundering.[1] The BBC describes the importance of the files as showing how the "world's biggest banks have allowed criminals to move dirty money around the world".[3]
