Anti-Money Laundering: International Law and Practice

This is the definitive reference book on anti-money laundering practices in international law. First an outline is provided of the general approach taken to international money laundering by supra-national organizations such as the United Nations and the European Council. Specific anti-money laundering legislation of certain FATF (Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering) member states is then described, followed by a broad-spectrum discussion of the most important topics within anti-money laundering legislation and the various existing rules in different countries.
