The Money Launderers - Softcover

Everyone has heard of money-laundering - the way that organised crime turns the dirty, often blood-stained proceeds of nefarious activities into clean, untraceable cash - but to most it remains a mystery how it is actually done. This unique guide explains exactly how the process works, how the criminals get away with it, and how to catch them at it. The author shows how some of the major criminal groups have set about laundering their loot. It includes details of well-known capers such as the Brinks-Mat robbers, the Lansky Legacy, and the dealings of the Russian mafia. Most importantly it shows what companies can do to avoid falling victim to the activity. "The Money Launderers" provides a fascinating insight into the workings of organised crime. It will be of interest to the general crime enthusiast, to companies and organisations seeking to protect themselves, and perhaps to the odd would-be launderer as well.
