Synopsis

The money generated from the sale of illicit drugs manufactured in South America can travel from a Caribbean island via New York through Austria to London quicker than it will take you to read this copy. And by the time it has reached its final destination, it is wholly unrecognizable as dirty money - it will be whiter than white. It will then find its way back into circulation through the world's legitimate banking systems, and more than likely into your bank account or pocket. "Dirty Dealing" exposes the awesome scale and scope of global money laundering and its infiltration into the world's legitimate business structures. Peter Lilley's compelling account takes us on a global tour of the activities of highly organized and sophisticated crime syndicates that are seriously undermining both developed and under-developed economies, their financial systems, governments and businesses. Full of incredible stories, facts and figures, he describes in detail how the major gangs go about their dirty business, such as the: Columbian Cartels; Italian Mafia; Japanese Yakuza; Juarez, Tijuana and Gulf Cartels in Mexico; Nigerian and West African gangs; Russian and Eastern European Mafia; and South African organized crime groups. We're shown how they (often hand in hand with legitimate organizations) launder money through narcotics, gunrunning, prostitution, terrorism, art theft, blackmail and many other evil and corrupt activities. The World Wide Web has, of course, provided another lucrative washing method for the criminals and Dirty Dealing looks at the future threat of cyber laundering. Peter Lilley believes that, by understanding how the money is obtained and washed through legitimate business activities, many organizations can prevent and detect money laundering. Drawing on his own extensive experience of fraud investigation around the world, he provides practical preventative strategies that any business can - and should - adopt.
