About the product
Money-laundering is a complex crime. Criminals hide behind that complexity, seeking out weak points in the world's legal and regulatory framework in order to launder their assets. This publication presents the proceedings of a panel discussion involving prominent and eminent thinkers in the field of money-laundering. It also includes an executive summary of 'Financial Havens, Banking Secrecy and Money-Laundering', (Sales Reference E.99.IV.2, 80pp., $25.00). This report was commissioned to coincide with the special session of the General Assembly on the issue of illicit drugs, held in New York in June 1998. The full text of what the General Assembly agreed to do to counter money-laundering is also included.
