The Sink: How the Real World Works - Terror, Crime and Dirty Money
The author of the bestselling The Laundrymen (1994) reveals that the dirty money business has doubled in value since he wrote that classic expos . Terrorists and organised crime are even more adept than they once were at exploiting the world's money markets for their own illegal ends and leaving governments and law enforcement stumped for ways to stop them. New technology and advances in IT have made it easier, not harder, for terrorists and criminals to launder cash, notably through offshore banking where rules and regulations are lax and difficult to police. Still a headline-grabbing story and bound to drum up plenty of publicity.
