Money Laundering Control in the Caribbean (Series: Studies in Commparative Corporate and Financial Law Volume 16)

A main aim of this book is to marry what we know of laundering channels and methods with existing legal regimes. Thus, it hopes to shed light on the paths to be followed by the law as it pursues its goal of stemming the flow of laundered illegal money into the world's economies.

The book's focus is on the Caribbean-and particularly on the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, and Jamaica-to keep the discussion within manageable bounds. This specialisation permits a close comparison of the way local laws interact with international and extraterritorial measures designed to intercept illegal money "on the way to the laundry." It is the author's belief that the insights gained by this in-depth comparison will shed light on the paths to be followed by law enforcement agents and judicial tribunals as they pursue their goal stemming the flow of laundered illegal money into the world's economies.
