Synopsis
In recent years, the increase in money laundering has resulted in the introduction of several new measures seeking to curb the activities of criminals who attempt to conceal the original source of their illegally obtained money. The Criminal Justice Act 1993, the Money Laundering Regulations 1993 and the Proceeds of Crime Act 1995 have introduced new criminal offences coupled with more rigorous adminstrative procedures designed to prevent and detect these increasingly sophisticated operations. This work considers the full range of legislation available both in the United Kingdom and Ireland to combat money laundering and sets out the practical means by which professionals can prevent their business from becoming vehicles for such criminal activity.
