European Money Trails (Hardcover)

This volume examines trends in organized crime across Europe, including money laundering methods and the mechanisms and instruments used to conceal the disposal of the proceeds of crime. These are then related to the risks posed to criminals by law enforcement, leading to an analysis of changes in patterns of criminal organizations. By drawing on primary and other authoritative sources, Savona provides a report on national experiences of criminal organizations unavailable elsewhere. It will prove especially useful to policymakers and users, as well as scholars looking to understand the criminal dynamics that underlie sophisticated, international offending.
