Relevance. The consistent increase in committed crimes of an extremist orientation indicates the absence of effective mechanisms and methods in modern law to counter the financing of extremism. Financial resources obtained as a result of committing crimes are the basis for the criminal activities of extremist organizations. Timely updating of the legal and regulatory framework for combating the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime and the financing of terrorism is a priority in the implementation of state policy in the field of countering extremist activities.
The purpose. Development of evidence-based proposals to improve the effectiveness of countering the financing of extremist activities.
Objectives. To identify specific ways to increase the effectiveness of countering extremist activities through the prism of improving the legal regulation of countering of funds obtained by criminal means and the financing of terrorism.
Methodology. In the framework of the conducted research, we used logical, system and formal legal methods.
Results. The article substantiates the need to empower law enforcement agencies to decide on a temporary suspension of operations related to the withdrawal of funds from bank accounts (deposits), opened in order to finance extremist and other illegal activities.
Conclusion. The study shows that the empowerment of law enforcement agencies and government agencies that perform control and supervisory measures over the implementation of transactions of funds and other property, the authority to make a decision on the temporary suspension of operations related to the withdrawal of funds from bank accounts (deposits) opened for the purpose of financing extremist (terrorist) and other illegal activities, will serve as an effective tool for implementing state policy in the field of countering the financing of extremist activities.
