Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new work by Margaret E. Beare and Stephen Schneider brings empirical evidence to the study of money laundering in Canada. The authors challenge the dominant, seemingly common-sense notion, fuelled by political posturing and policing rhetoric, that taking the profits away from criminals (proceeds of crime enforcement) is a rational and effective tactic. Using extensive research involving records gathered from police, financial institutions, and legal sources, the authors paint a picture of a dubiousenforcement strategy beset by conflicting interests and agendas, an overly ambitious set of expectations, and reliance on an ambiguous body of evidence as to the strategy's overall merits."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing in Global Financial Systems written by Rafay, Abdul and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few decades, corrupt financial practices were increasingly being monitored in many countries around the globe. The past few decades have been eventful for these issues. Today, tackling money laundering and terrorism financing are considered key issues in developed and developing countries alike. Eradication of money laundering and terrorism financing through a holistic approach of awareness, prevention, and enforcement is a current need. It has enabled the birth of new regulatory regimes based on strict compliance, robust processes, and technology. One of the many problems with this is the lack of general awareness about all these issues among various stakeholders including researchers and practitioners. Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing in Global Financial Systems deepens the discourse about money laundering, terrorism financing, and risk management in a modern-day environment. It provides a fascinating and invaluable guide for understanding the theory, practice, and cases of these topics. Split into two sections, the first being money laundering and terrorism financing and the second being financial governance and risk management, the chapters create comprehensive knowledge on these acts of crime in the financial industry by defining the crimes themselves, the many challenges and impacts, and potential solutions. This book is ideal for government officials, financial professionals, policymakers, academicians, business professionals, managers, IT specialists, researchers, and students.
Download or read book Dirty Money written by Christian Leuprecht and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial crime in Canada remains a mystery: omnipresent, but we know little about its operation. Transactions are cloaked with apparent legality, which makes tracking criminal activity through economic or financial statistics a complex undertaking. This distinctive volume aims to stem in-, out-, and through-flows of vast sums of dirty money by enhancing Canada’s capacity to detect, disrupt, deter, investigate, and prosecute domestic financial criminals and transnational organized criminal organizations. It brings together leading scholars and practitioners from the public and private sectors to identify and explore deficiencies in federal and provincial policy, regulation, legislation, politics, institutions, and enforcement, as well as the international financial crime regime. Together contributors pinpoint weaknesses that have turned the Canadian federation into a destination of choice for global financial crime, where its perpetrators can operate with impunity. Dirty Money reveals how globalization and technology have spun an extensive web of clandestine processes that disguises how financial criminals operate, the channels they use, and how they suborn banks and institutions. In the process, the extent of financial crime in Canada and its corrosive effects on communities, democratic institutions, and prosperity becomes apparent.

Book excerpt: While some of the very newest legislation will not be significantly captured among these cases, the fundamental approach that has come into being, beginning with the 1990 Proceeds of Crime legislation, and the commitment of governments and the law enforcement community to invest in money laundering cases, ought to be evident in the quality and quantify of the money laundering cases that have been [...] We see in some jurisdictions a near-substitution of the more traditional focus on the crime and the criminal to a focus on the criminal proceeds-this two may be a danger if the allure of the proceeds should too dramatically shift the enforcement balance. [...] In particular, the research examines such salient issues as the sources of the criminal proceeds, how the illicit cash enters the legitimate economy, the commercial and financial sectors used to launder the proceeds of crime, the products, services, and expertise exploited within each of these sectors, and the techniques and guises expressly employed to facilitate the money laundering process. [...] The population of POC cases was refined through the application of criteria intended to maximize the relevancy and quality of the cases to be included in the final sample. [...] The most important criterion for the inclusion of a case in the sampling frame was that the legal definition of "possession of the proceeds of crime"3 or "money laundering"4 must have been satisfied.

Download or read book Money Laundering An Endless Cycle written by Nicholas Ryder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed examination of anti-money laundering policies and legislative frameworks in a number of jurisdictions and considers how successful these jurisdictions have been in implementing international measures to combat money laundering. Looking at the instruments and proposals put in place by a number of institutions including the United Nations (UN), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the European Union, the book begins by reclassifying and expanding the traditional global anti-laundering policy to include aspects such as having a national money laundering strategy in place, the implementation of international instruments and the role of government and regulatory agencies. Ryder then offers a comparative analytical review of the anti-money laundering policies adopted in the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia and considers to what extent they have followed and implemented the identified global anti-money laundering policy. Money Laundering – An Endless Cycle? will be of particular interest to academics and students in the fields of Law, Finance, Banking and Criminology.

Download or read book The Sink written by Jeffrey Robinson and published by Constable. This book was released on 2003 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, when Jeffrey Robinson, author of The Laundrymen, first brought to the world's attention the problems of dirty money --- revealing how otherwise legitimate lawyers, bankers, accountants and even governments were helping drug traffickers hide the proceeds of their crimes --- he labelled money laundering the world's third largest business, estimating that at any given time there was around USD300 Billion circling the globe, looking to get clean. Now, in the sequel to Laundrymen, Robinson calculates that the dirty money business has doubled in under ten years and is ever more sophisticated (law enforcement and concerned governments flounder in its wake) - and he lays the blame on the offshore world. In an eye-opening tour de force of investigative journalism, Robinson reveals the state of the art of business-as-crime worldwide. As vast profits are turned into seemingly legitimate money, lawyers, bankers, accountants, brokers and governments have sold out to the mob and terrorists learn the lessons too and use Western financial networks to finance attacks on those same systems.

Download or read book Methods of Money Laundering written by Fabian Teichmann and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How exactly is money laundered? The answer to this question is not well understood – and for this very reason, costly prevention measures remain ineffective. This much-needed book provides the first in-depth explanation of the methods used by intelligent criminals to amass wealth from large-scale trafficking in drugs, arms, and human beings, as well as from less odious crimes. The author shows clearly not only why existing approaches to combat money laundering are bound to fail but also how money launderers easily circumvent such measures. Based on qualitative interviews with both alleged criminals and prevention experts, detailed illustrations of concrete steps taken by intelligent and specialized perpetrators of money laundering allow practitioners to anticipate and effectively combat this type of crime. The author fully documents such aspects of money launderers’ behaviour as the following: resources required; dealing with detection risks; and international mobility. A central chapter covers in depth the various markets, institutions, and facilities that are particularly favourable to money laundering, and original insights accompany the presented findings with relevant quotations from the interviewees. The author offers tailored recommendations for different professional groups, including bankers, prosecutors, defence lawyers, and judges. In its critical questioning of the logic behind anti-money laundering regulations and their costly implementation, the book demonstrates that either the existing measures of prevention are drastically tightened and extended to almost all branches of the economy or the financial sector is relieved of the burden it bears and alternative ways of fighting this type of crime are sought instead. It will prove enormously valuable to understanding and investigating white-collar and financial crime, and be welcomed by practitioners and professionals in financial markets, banking, criminal lawyers, and compliance experts, as well as academia.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the seizure and forfeiture of the proceeds of crime is a deterrent for some criminals, in reality, this option is not enough to fight money laundering effectively. This essay will examine the different programs, strategies, laws and regulations concerning money laundering and drug trafficking enacted in Canada and the United States. In addition to defining money laundering, an overview of the structure, that is the methods available to criminals to launder money will be offered. Furthermore, the effects of money laundering on the economy will be touched upon briefly, to have a better understanding of why acting immediately is necessary if our living standards are to the remain the same. Moreover, two case studies will be analyzed to have a better understanding of how the legislation from both Canada and the United States is applied. It will be proven that although Canada and the United States are strongly committed to fighting money laundering, improvements are desperately needed. Solutions such as new legislation, additional resources for law enforcement agencies, education of key individuals, the creation of an international organization or multinational bank regulating the flow of money and its origins and, an increase in cooperation between financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, their respective governments and foreign states will be introduced.
