Description: Most developed countries across the globe have enacted to prescribe acts of money laundering and financing of terrorism, and to enable the proceeeds of crime to be recovered from offenders. Despite the normative approach taken in the FATF-GAFI recommendations, the specific legislative and procedural responses taken by individual countries have differed in many respects. Law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies need to understand the differences that exist in criminal law relating to money laundering between different countries when investigating and prosecuting illegal conduct, as conduct of this nature often entails cross-border activity requiring mutual assistance between agencies and extradition of suspects across jurisdictional borders. The countries included were the European Union (the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Belguim), Asia (the Republic of China (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Singapore), the United States and Australia.
