It has long been believed that the most effective way to immobilise
organised criminal activity lies in blocking the channels that
allow illegally-obtained assets to enter the economic mainstream.
Yet even as international law enforcement co-operation in this
vital endeavour becomes ever more focused, the bewildering domain
of criminal money laundering techniques remains elusive. The "gross
national product" of international crime still exceeds that of many
nations. A main aim of this new book is to marry what we know of
laundering channels and methods on the one hand and existing legal
regimes (both preventive and reactive) on the other. Although major
victories on the side of law and order are not numerous so far, the
author clearly demonstrates that progress is being made in certain
areas and that the overall thrust of international law and
cooperation in the field is growing stronger. She goes on to
identify a number of linkages between criminal necessities and
potential legal measures that are likely to bear fruit. It is the
author's belief that the insights gained by this in-depth
comparison will shed light on the paths to be followed by law
enforcement agents and judicial tribunals as they pursue their goal
of stemming the flow of laundered illegal money into the world's
economies.
