Fueled by corruption, fraud, and organized crime, the shadow
economy-also known as the informal, black market, illegal, or
underground economy-is currently on the rise worldwide. Corruption,
Fraud, Organized Crime, and the Shadow Economy addresses shadow
economies and the players involved by examining various aspects of
criminal law and prosecution. This book gathers the insights of
