Description

The infiltration of organised crime in the legitimate economy has emerged as a transnational phenomenon.

This book constitutes an unprecedented study of the involvement of criminal groups in the legitimate economy and their infiltration in legal businesses, and is the first to bridge the research gap between money laundering and organised crime.

It analyses the main drivers of this process, explaining why, how and where infiltration happens. Building on empirical evidence from the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, the UK, Ireland, Italy, France and Finland, Organised Crime in European Businesses is divided into four parts.

Part I explores the infiltration of legitimate businesses to conceal and facilitate illicit trafficking.

Part II examines the infiltration of legitimate businesses to develop fraud schemes.

Part III focuses on the infiltration of legitimate businesses to control the territory and influence policy makers.

Part IV concludes by considering the research and policy implications in light of these findings. Bringing together leading experts and detailed case studies, this book considers the infiltration of organised crime in legitimate business around Europe.

It is an ideal resource for students and academics in the fields of criminology, economics and sociology, as well as private sector practitioners, public officials and policy makers.
