Money Laundering Phantoms, Imagery and Facts
This was an invited peer reviewed contribution to the Liber Amicorum for Professor Dr Petrus C. van Duyne and synthesises the author’s research position on money laundering by examining some of the central beliefs and assumptions associated with and around the concept of money laundering, particularly with regard to magnitude and impact. The paper considers the theoretical rationale for legislative intervention, the creation of agencies of government required to implement such legislation together with their associated efforts at existence justification. Evidence is drawn from a variety of public data sources concerning vested interest and effectiveness.
