About this Talk
Money laundering in the United States, the Netherlands and Italy will be some of the topics discussed in this panel session. One of the themes of the session will explain the mechanisms through which corruption by high-level Mexican politicians and local/state government authorities—particularly Mexican governors—is facilitated in the Unites States through money laundering operations. The research also evaluates key actors, organizations and relevant strategies linked to this phenomenon and will outline the basic methods used by high-profile Mexican politicians to launder money in the United States. Another key theme will be the combating Financial Crime through Public-Private Partnerships. Next to this, money laundering networks in the Netherlands will be discussed. This presentation will discuss how do professional money launderers organize their business. Money laundering in the Italian context will also be discussed. Results from a study show that only a small proportion of the cases implicated professional money laundering while the majority involved self-laundering and opportunistic laundering. The individual characteristics, legitimate jobs, means of facilitation, and benefits of the identified professionals will be discussed in detail.
