World Money Laundering Report

Drawing on primary sources, this volume reports on regional and national forms of criminal organization, addressing how money laundering activities and anti-money laundering policies are changing in Europe today. Analysis of the geography of organized criminal activity is followed by discussion of the ways in which illegal proceeds are generated, methods of laundering, and the international and regional legal framework developed in recent years to combat it. Individual country profiles then examine the interaction of criminal activity and policy in the 15 EU countries, as well as the countries of Eastern Europe and offshore countries with links to the EU. Final chapters survey trends in criminal activity and the institutional arrangements set up to combat them. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)
