Kansas Bureau of Investigation Director Tony Mattivi wants to turn the tables on drug dealers with a tax on international money transfers that would be used to fight crime.
Mattivi is asking lawmakers to approve a $7.50 fee on international transactions of $500 or less or an amount equal to 1.5% for more than $500.
The projected millions of dollars in proceeds from the fee would go toward fighting money laundering as well as complex drug and white collar crimes.
The law targets drug cartels that use "mules" or "strawmen" to transfer small but large volumes of cash . . .
