Samenvatting:

This book critically analyses the evolving landscape of money laundering in the context of emerging technologies. Motivated by the need to provide an insight into evolving money laundering typologies and advocate for innovative approaches, such as the Money Laundering Appeal Index (MLAI) and the Actors, Predicate crime, Purpose of laundering, and Technological innovations (APPT) framework, it integrates insights from sociological and criminological theories to better understand the decision-making process of launderers. In addition to providing a framework aimed at expounding the technique(s) employed in the money laundering process and a metric to assess the appeal of a destination for money laundering flows, the work advocates for a systematic approach to construct models that can detect shell companies employed for laundering illicitly obtained funds, all based on publicly accessible information. By presenting novel insights and instruments, the book enriches the financial crime discourse, equipping stakeholders with the resources for more effective identification and prevention of these widespread economic offences. It will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and those working in the area of financial crime.
