International Guide to Money Laundering Law and Practice, 3rd edition

Money laundering remains high on the political, legal and regulatory agenda. After a decade of rapid development, governmental interest in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) initiatives as a means of combating a variety of criminal and terrorist activity is unabated.
