Product Description

Review

"an up-to-date compendium of the many types of money laundering and the techniques involved in the investigation of the financial crime." -Crime & Justice International, July/August 1999

Product Description

Historic perspective meets current investigative techniques The crime of money laundering is widespread, not only figuring in obvious cases such as Al Capone's, but in major events as diverse as the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the Watergate scandal. Money Laundering gives law enforcement professionals a clear understanding of money laundering practices, legislation, and investigation. Two frontline investigators - a narcotics investigator/supervisor, and a special agent for the IRS - have co-authored this authoritative study. Case studies establish a historic perspective on Money Laundering, and the progressive changes in its methods through the years. For today's investigator, the authors also take a broad approach to forfeiture, financial crimes, fraud, and related situations - making the information most valuable and timely.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Money Laundering Primer, 23 Aug 2001
As a former trial lawyer now working as a Financial Editor for a major European Investment Bank, I found Money Laundering: Guide for Criminal Investigators to be an excellent handbook for understanding the ins and outs of money laundering. The authors do not leave anything to chance, giving clear and precise explanations of even the most simple terms. The history of money laundering is also considered in the first chapters. I had some previous experience studying the subject matter and found that both for myself, as well as for the complete novice, the book is a great primer. One of the surprises the book contains are the explanations on how banking, real estate and securities industries work as well as simple explanations of accounting methods and balance sheets. These are most useful for those who have not had a formal education in the aforementioned area. In my view, the authors' attitude is to provide not only a primer but a reference book for future use. In this sense it is "The Bible of Money Laundering Investigation Handbooks", giving the basic outlines that an investigator should use, checklists provided help the investigator to keep on track and not get lost when facing the challenges of fighting white collar crime. Sample templates are provided for requesting information as well as a handy glossary. Some readers could consider this book as "Money Laundering for Dummies", but the aim is to acquire the proper base for future study. As an attorney trained outside the Common Law system, I was able to draw parallelisms between the Continental legal system I studied and the U.S. one. The chapter detailing the different legal forms a business can have, gave me a clear snapshot of what I knew and did not know. Here lies the strength of the book: it is not only of interest to law enforcement & to the judicial branch but also for those of us who work within an industry where compliance is a major issue and where we deal with one or more Regulators. Although the book gives us a law enforcement perspective, it allows for better compliance at all levels. Recently, a financial investigation on the part of the local Regulator into a "fly by night" market operator revealed it was suspected of being a conduit for money laundering. Being an alumnus of the book, allowed me to get a very clear picture of what the press was referring to when they mentioned layering and placement, brass plate banks and other terms pertaining to these illegal practices. It also proved once again that most journalists do have the slightest idea of what there are talking about when writing on this fascinating ever- increasingly-important subject.
