This book considers the ability of island jurisdictions with
financial centres to meet the expectations of the international
community in addressing the threats posed to themselves and others
by their innocent (or otherwise) facilitation of the receipt of
suspect wealth. In the global financial architecture, British
Overseas Territories are of material significance. Through their
inalienable right to self-determination, many developed offshore
financial centres to achieve sustainable economic development.
Focusing on Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, and Anguilla, the book
concerns suspect wealth emanating from financial crimes including
corruption, money laundering and tax evasion, as well as
controversial conduct like tax avoidance. This work considers the
viability of international standards on suspect wealth in the
context of the territories, how willing or able they are to comply
with them, and how their financial centres can better prevent
receipt of suspect wealth. While universalism is desirable in the
modern approach to tackling suspect wealth, a one-size-fits-all
approach is inappropriate for these jurisdictions. On critically
evaluating their legislative and regulatory regimes, the book
advances that they demonstrate willingness to comply with
international standards. However, their abilities and levels of
compliance vary. In acknowledging the facilitatively harmful role
the territories can play, this work draws upon evidence of
implication in transnational financial crime cases. Notwithstanding
this, the book questions whether the degree of criticism that these
offshore jurisdictions have encountered is warranted in light of
apparent willingness to engage in the enactment and administration
of internationally accepted laws and cooperate with international
institutions.
