Download or read book Football Gambling and Money Laundering written by Fausto Martin De Sanctis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional football means many things to many people. For players, a means to possible fame and fortune. For fans, a source of local or national pride, and perhaps the chance to score with a few bets. For criminal organizations, a cover for making millions in corrupt enterprises. In the world of gambling this is no different. Football, Gambling, and Money Laundering describes in impressive detail the scope of the problem, the layers of denial that allow sports-related financial crime to flourish, and the steps that are being taken--and that need to be taken--to combat illicit operations in the sports world. Expert analysis explains criminal activity in the context of football, and how sports governing bodies, the media, and others have created a culture that regularly turns a blind eye. International data and instructive legal case examples shed light on the role of the Internet in the spread of gambling and money laundering as well as the strengths and weaknesses of current law enforcement, legislative, and sports-based efforts in fighting corruption. Included in the coverage: • Criminal activity in the sports world • Financial crime and exploitation in football and gambling • Legal wagering and illegal betting, including online • Illegal and disguised payment instruments used by organized crime • International legal cooperation in combating money laundering • National and international proposals for improving the sports and gambling industries to prevent money laundering An authoritative reference to a growing and wide-reaching concern, Football, Gambling,and Money Laundering will find an interested audience among academics, prosecutors, judges, law enforcement officials, and others involved in efforts to curb corruption and money laundering in the world of football.

Download or read book Money Laundering Through Art written by Fausto Martin De Sanctis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​The art world has been discovered by criminals as an effective way for money laundering and other clandestine activities on an international level. Unfortunately, in most countries investigators, prosecutors, judges, and regulatory agencies are not equipped to accurately detect, investigate and prosecute this type of criminal activity. Also, regulation and international laws and treaties involving the art world have many loopholes that can potentially lead to the laundering of large sums of money. This book provides a bird’s eye view of novel ways in which money laundering happens through illegal activities involving art. It can serve as a guide for law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and others involved in efforts to curb money laundering and financing of terrorism, revealing why somehow new techniques used by criminals have been neglected by law enforcement in most countries. Drawing from his own experience with the matter in both Brazil and in the United States, the author makes a case for broader institutional and regulatory improvement, extending beyond mere regulation of the art market.

Download or read book International Money Laundering Through Real Estate and Agribusiness written by Fausto Martin De Sanctis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines two types of transnational money laundering: the use of offshores and wire transfers to “invest” in real estate; and agribusiness, a nebulous activity that is difficult to regulate. The author also examines current international mechanisms to combat money-laundering; whether these efforts have been successful or unsuccessful; and whether multilateral instruments are an effective tool in the war against international organized crime. As national borders have opened and trade barriers have fallen, transnational crime has grown at unprecedented levels. The current situation, better revealed by the so-called “Panama Papers,” is a result of a lack of local cooperation in the investigations, prosecution, and/or extradition of criminals. Governments profit from ill-gotten wealth hosting international criminal enterprises in their own territories, thus providing a fertile ground for illicit practices, closing their eyes to the nexus among false or inappropriate identification, fraudulent records, corruption, and money laundering. If these types of transnational money-laundering are allowed to remain as they are currently treated, the shift in the financial paradigm, from centralized and regulated to decentralized and “unregulated,” would allow for the continuation of some of the most dangerous criminal activity. In this timely book, the author presents arguments that by “following the money,” capital movements involved in transnational money laundering through real estate and agribusiness can be examined, revealed, and understood.

Download or read book La Verdad de Gabriel written by Antonio Lategana and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El obsesionado comportamiento ético de Miguel en su ejercicio profesional como abogado, solamente le permitió percibir a la justicia, como la dama ciega que equilibra su balanza con el peso exclusivo de la VERDAD, sin embargo, tan loable convencimiento, lo alejó completamente de la senda exitosa. La sensación y percepción de vida que nos pertenece todos, fue entonces interrumpida sorpresivamente en Miguel e incorporado al dulce y hermoso despertar que representa la promesa inequívoca de Vida Eterna. En esa insuperable, única e inmejorable dimensión, fue invitado a participar como fiscal acusador, para el juicio del milenio, al que seria sometida esa VERDAD, por ausentarse reiteradamente entre los hombres. El juicio requería presentar un caso que pudiese considerarse emblemático y representativo, un caso donde el uso de la mentira fuese reiterado y sin escrúpulos, para desplazar y anular a la VERDAD y consentir a la avaricia y al engaño colectivo. Sin duda alguna, la manipulación del mercado petrolero y sus derivados, cumplían con cada uno de esos requisitos.

Book excerpt: Inmerso en los intricados laberintos de la moral humana, la ética, la justicia, el conocimiento científico y el uso de los mismos con propósitos ulteriores, el autor nos adentra en un mundo cuasi mágico en el que nuestros sentidos nos dictarán el desenlace del crimen cometido. Cada lector tendrá la oportunidad de sentir a flor de piel cada instancia de los acontecimientos en la vida de los personajes que el autor retrata con sus letras. Un grupo de jóvenes estudiantes adolescentes cuyos talentos se combinan, creando un círculo de hermandad y un código secreto el cual unirá sus vidas y cambiará el curso de éstos para siempre. Ese hermetismo y complicidad, con el tiempo logra transformar ese código en el instrumento y causal de un crudo y escalofriante crimen. Sigfredo Soto nos plantea la distorsión que pueden sufrir nuestras estructuras sociales, morales, éticas, religiosas y de justicia cuando son arropadas por el deseo de poder, venganza y ambición. ¿Lograrán la justicia y el bien prevalecer?

Download or read book Sacroeconom a written by Charles Eisenstein and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacroeconomía analiza la historia del dinero desde las antiguas economías del obsequio hasta el capitalismo moderno, revelando hasta qué punto el sistema monetario ha contribuido a la alienación, la competencia y la escasez, ha destruido el sentimiento de comunidad y ha obligado al crecimiento ilimitado. Estas tendencias han llegado a su extremo hoy en día. Sin embargo, tras su derrumbe podríamos hallar una gran oportunidad para acometer la transición hacia un modo de ser más interconectado, ecológico y sostenible. Este libro trata de la transformación que deberá experimentar —y que ya experimenta— el sistema monetario para encarnar dicha transición. Sacroeconomía ofrece una síntesis amplia que integra teoría, políticas y prácticas, y examina conceptos vanguardistas de la Nueva Economía, entre ellos la moneda de interés negativo, la moneda local, la economía basada en los recursos, las economías del obsequio y la restauración del procomún. El autor, Charles Eisenstein, sopesa también las dimensiones personales de esta transición, dirigiéndose a quienes aspiran a un “modo de subsistencia correcto” y a vivir en consonancia con sus ideales en un mundo aparentemente gobernado por el dinero. Recurriendo a una larga tradición de pensamiento económico convencional y no convencional, Sacroeconomía presenta una visión original a la vez que sensata, radical a la vez que moderada; una visión de creciente relevancia ante la crisis, cada vez más profunda, de nuestra civilización.

Book excerpt: El conjunto de trabajos de este volumen revela el nivel alcanzado por el fenómeno de las drogas en el mundo andino, así como su significado en términos de las relaciones de Brasil, Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea con el área. Todos los ensayos indican la complejidad del fenómeno, los magros resultados de las políticas antidrogas y las frustraciones que ha producido la perpetuación de una estrategia antinarcóticos decididamente coactiva: “La guerra contra las drogas”. El presente libro comprueba que este paradigma prohibicionista debe reevaluarse.
