Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing the AIDP’s tradition in examining how to improve the protection of the environment through criminal law, this volume addresses various challenges and scientific concerns in relation to environmental crime. It touches upon a range of topics, from biodiversity to corporate criminal liability to jurisdictional or prosecutorial problems, and explores multiple national and regional enforcement systems, drawing from best practices. It brings together key proceedings of the Second AIDP World Conference on the Protection of the Environment through Criminal Law (Bucharest, May 18-20, 2016) organised by the International Association of Penal Law (AIDP) in collaboration with the Romanian Association of Penal Sciences, the Legal Research Institute of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and the Ecological University of Bucharest.
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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussão a respeito da responsabilidade das pessoas jurídicas tem se perpetrado há tempos. No entanto, devido ao avanço das indústrias e da utilização de recursos da terra, faz-se eficaz a instrumentalização da proteção ao meio ambiente, tendo em vista que o principal agente degradante são os entes coletivos. Apesar de ser remoto, o estopim da degradação ambiental, decorrente da Revolução Industrial, que forçou o fenômeno denominado de êxodo rural, implicou no crescimento desenfreado dos centros urbanos que, sem planejamento algum, trouxeram fortes agressões à fauna, à flora e a todo ecossistema. No Brasil, vários são os casos de degradação ambiental, principalmente os praticados por pessoas jurídicas. Nesta baila, a Constituição Federal de 1988 trouxe as prerrogativas de proteção e de sanções à quem comete crimes contra o meio ambiente, presentes nos artigos 225 e seus parágrafos. O objetivo principal é o de garantir um meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado para as presentes e futuras gerações. Daí surge uma reflexão, segundo as palavras de Leonardo da Vinci: "chegará um dia no qual os homens conhecerão o íntimo dos animais; e nesse dia, um crime contra um animal será considerado crime contra a humanidade.".

This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A obra pretende proporcionar as bases teóricas para uma aplicação das disposições da lei penal brasileira de delitos ambientais (Lei 9.605, de 12 de fevereiro de 1998), que regula a responsabilidade penal da pessoa jurídica de maneira coerente com o direito penal. Ao introduzir um sistema de responsabilidade autônoma da personalidade jurídica, o legislador brasileiro obriga que se estabeleçam categorias autônomas de responsabilidade para a pessoa jurídica. A questão é como compreender ditas categorias e como se pode imputar responsabilidade penal à pessoa jurídica.
Download or read book Crimes Ambientais e a Responsabilidade Penal da Empresa written by Dante D'Aquino and published by . This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A obra de Dante D’Aquino analisa a responsabilidade penal da pessoa jurídica diante de um novo cenário social: o definhamento do planeta e de suas reservas naturais. Inúmeras iniciativas, tanto governamentais quanto não governamentais, procuram frear o desgaste irreversível do planeta e de todas as suas riquezas naturais, de modo a evitar que a base de sustentação do homem sobre a Terra se esvaia para sempre. A responsabilidade penal da pessoa jurídica é apenas uma dessas iniciativas. O autor apresenta a alteração do conceito produtivo ocorrido com a chegada da revolução industrial, entre os séculos XVII e XVIII, momento em que a pessoa jurídica já estava consolidada como uma organização de exploração das reservas naturais para produção de bens. A partir desse período, na visão do autor, emerge a necessidade de se compreender o meio ambiente como bem jurídico de suma importância para a preservação da posteridade, diante da finitude dos recursos naturais que servem de base para exploração empresarial. O estudo passa, então, a analisar as condutas que, de forma mais significativa, potencialmente lesionam o meio ambiente. A atividade empresarial, evidentemente, está no centro desse contexto.
