Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime: The Facilitation of Money Laundering and its Control: The Law of Financial Crime
Autor Katie Bensonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2021
The book demonstrates the complex and diverse nature of lawyers’ involvement in laundering activity, and shows that their actions and the decisions they take must be understood in relation to the specific situational contexts in which they occur. It provides significant new insights into the criminal justice and regulatory response to professional facilitation of money laundering in the UK, raising questions about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the response and the challenges involved. The book develops a framework for future research and analysis in this area, and proposes a range of potential strategies for controlling the facilitation of money laundering.
Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime is essential reading for those researching money laundering, white-collar crime or organised crime, and for practitioners and policy makers concerned with preventing the facilitation of money laundering.

Recenzii
The role of legal professionals in the laundering of criminal proceeds is widely acknowledged, while little empirical research has been done on this crucial node in money laundering schemes. In studies of money laundering, the role of lawyers gets lost between the research traditions of studying either white-collar crime or studying organized crime. This book fills that gap by offering the most complete and up to date account of the facilitation of money laundering. It connects upperworlds and underworlds by focusing on the lawyer as a modern day Charon, the mythical ferryman of the underworld.Wim Huisman, Professor of Criminology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Given ongoing emphases on high-end money laundering, gatekeepers, and facilitators of money laundering, this timely book provides important new insights into money laundering, and anti-money laundering, in the legal profession. This book not only examines the AML regime and how lawyers launder proceeds of crime, it goes further by examining punishments following conviction. The book challenges entrenched views of (anti-)money laundering, and delivers important new insights based on original empirical research. I highly recommend it!
Colin King, Reader in Law, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of London
This is a commendably thorough and thoughtful analysis of identified money laundering by the legal profession in England and Wales (and to a lesser extent, around the world), and of barriers to criminal, regulatory and practical interventions against it.
Michael Levi, Professor of Criminology, Cardiff University
If you’re an individual or organisation generating significant finances from criminal activities and want to use this to purchase assets, you need to be able to conceal the criminal origins of the money, and legal professionals can help you do this. In this book, Benson empirically analyses and contextualises the opportunities for, and nature of, such criminal facilitation, and in doing so provides rich insights into the drivers and conditions that lead to these otherwise legitimate ‘white-collar’ actors laundering criminal proceeds on behalf of others.
