Probe FinCEN Files

Nepal must conduct independent investigations into the revelations and bring fraudsters, if any, to book.

The FinCEN Files have revealed a litany of suspicious financial transactions worth Rs35 billion that 19 Nepali establishments were involved in for 11 years between 2006 and 2017. The FinCEN Files are the result of a huge collaborative work involving 400 journalists from 88 countries all over the world, investigating records of transactions from 1999 to 2017 during which period banks monitored suspicious financial activities of their customers and reported them to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a government body that monitors financial transactions in the United States.
