Illicit Financial Flows in the Digital Age, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Money laundering and the financing of terrorism constitute among the most serious threats to modern constitutional states - an increasingly salient concern in light of the use of crypto-assets. The tension between technological innovation, economic competitiveness, and the mitigation of risks in accordance with the rule of law is a defining feature of the current reform debate in Germany and across Europe. In this context, both law enforcement authorities and supervisory bodies are confronted with novel, cross-border challenges.

This edited volume was developed within the framework of the EU-funded Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence Crime Investigations and Criminal Justice (CCICJ) and provides an analysis of selected legal, institutional, regulatory and practical challenges associated with combating money laundering and terrorist financing through the use of crypto-assets. Particular emphasis is placed on the European perspective. By incorporating the Western Balkans and Turkey, the volume further broadens its scope to include regions in which processes of European integration, dynamics of transformation, and security policy challenges are especially closely interconnected.
