- It is estimated that as much as $1.5 trillion may be “laundered” every year worldwide, or about two to five percent of the global domestic product. Of this amount, $500 billion can be attributed to hiding the proceeds of tax evasion. Tax evasion and money laundering, although separate and distinct crimes, are intertwined in that all illegal proceeds, when laundered, effectively evade taxes, and all legitimate money that evades taxes becomes illegal and subsequently needs to be “laundered.” The article argues that a TIEA with Panama would allow the United States to circumvent the strict financial secrecy laws that shield American tax evaders and money launderers from prosecution. Part I of this Note describes the mechanics and nterrelation of money laundering, tax evasion, and Panamanian financial secrecy laws. Part II addresses the measures the United States has implemented to combat the money laundering problem and their ineffectiveness in dealing with tax evasion. Part III proposes how the United States could implement a TIEA with Panama to address the U.S. need for tax information, while at the same time, respecting Panama’s commitment to protecting its financial secrecy regime, Taken to the Cleaners: Panama 's Financial Secrecy Laws Facilitate the Laundering of Evaded U.S. Taxes, Banking, Financial Services, Compliance, 2009
