With the globalisation of finance and the speed of electronic transactions, the world's leading nations are waging the battle against the money laundering activities of organised criminal organisations and terrorists. The highlights of this book include an exclusive interview with former Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti by leading organised crime journalist Antonio Nicaso, whose arrest and trial brought the issue of organised crime to the attention of the world. In addition, the system of money laundering used to finance global terrorist networks, the "Hawala," is examined in great depth by leading financial crime journalist, Lee Lamothe.
