Abstract
Financial Intelligence Unit Law doesn't include investigation on important cases that could influence the security and existence of the nation that are the core jobs of national intelligence agency. So the agency has a difficulty to investigate the international crime of North Korea and other security incidents. It is also difficult to catch an international crime organization working in Korea. It also produces problems such as difficulty in investigating the illegal leak of strategic materials and investigating people related to illegal funding to international terrorism. So it is urgently needed to revise Financial Intelligence Law as soon as possible. Foreign intelligence agencies use the information of financial intelligence unit in many different ways. National Security Agency of China and Australian Security Intelligence Organization freely use the information of financial intelligence unit based on their own laws and systems. Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation of USA and Secret Intelligence Service and Security Service of Britain request financial intelligence units to supply them with the information of financial intelligence unit. But the national intelligence agency of Korea isn't able to approach to FIU and can't share the FIU information with foreign intelligence agencies. To solve the problem, they should revise Financial Intelligence Unit Law so that national intelligence agency can receive or request information from Korean Financial Intelligence Unit.
