Abstract
Mike Levi focusses on money laundering where he analyses why security experts should be interested in money laundering and its collateral damage both for companies and for society. It goes on to review how evidence has been used and can be used in fighting the financial components of underlying crimes, examining the range of the problem(s) we are supposed to be fighting—money laundering as an evil in itself and/or the underlying crimes which give rise to it; it estimates the size and harmfulness of the problems and identifies improvements/emerging problems in the assessment of money laundering and how it is combatted.
