Features: How do gang members and other drug traffickers operate to "clean" their ill-gotten gains? This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition of Financial Crime reveals and explains the newly adopted methods, risks, profits, and preferred financial and legal channels of these "money launderers." Readers are thus taken deep into the mysteries of these international "money laundering machines" that recycle the proceeds of both large and small smuggling back into the legitimate economy. This is highly significant: Today, money laundering has taken a significant share of the global financial circulation and has allowed criminals to consolidate their power in all areas where they can reap profits. Financial Crime is well-researched and aimed at all those, whether by profession or interest, who wish to understand this dark side of globalization. Money laundering has become, in a sense, a modern "shudder," because the reality of money laundering has long surpassed people's imagination.
