In the aftermath of recent multiple leaks such as the Panama
Papers, the Swiss leaks, the Lux leaks, and the Bahama leaks, this
book offers an interesting view on the underlying conflicting
interests that impede the adoption of more effective legislation to
stop money laundering by way of the financial system. The central
position of the book is that the declared goals underlying the
criminalization of money laundering have not been fulfilled. The
effectiveness of the anti-money laundering regime in Germany is
assessed by examining the indirect effects, collateral
consequences, and positive interpretations of the law in action and
of the law inaction; reducing the issue to a question of symbolic
effectiveness does not reflect the complexity of the matter. What
is demonstrated, is that the goals attributed to the regime were
too ambitious, and that a lower degree of effectiveness has been
accepted in order to balance the inherent political, economic and
financial conflicting interests. Unlike other volumes focusing on
this issue, this book deals with the implementation of the
legislation and the consequences thereof, and is primarily aimed at
legal sociologists, sociology of law researchers, criminal lawyers,
criminologists with an interest in white collar crime and political
scientists studying measures against illicit financial flows and
the concrete implementation of anti-money laundering laws. The book
will be of interest to both international policymakers and
consultants as well as their counterparts in Germany for instance
working on improving the instruments to fight organized crime and
prevent the financing of terrorism through money laundering. The
complexity of the anti-money laundering regime and all the
variables are exhaustively and critically reviewed in the
assessment, thereby providing complete instructions for future
legislative steps. The case study regarding the situation in
Germany maximizes readers' insights into concrete effects of the
implementation of international anti-money laundering standards at
a national level, and the opinions of professionals working in the
field and of experts on the law-making process are also
illuminating. Moreover, the book equips non-German speakers with
the information needed to deal with the extensive German legal
scholarly production on article 261 of the German criminal code and
the current internal political debate on the matter. Verena Zoppei
is a Fellow Researcher at the International Security Division of
the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in
Berlin. Specific to this book: * Broadens your understanding of the
complexity of the anti-money laundering regime * Provides complete
