Price IR£60 ISBN 1 - 899738 - 86 - X
This work, aimed specifically at the Ireland's growing financial services industry was published in November 2000 and is Ireland's first book in the area.
It provides an essential overview of money laundering techniques; explores the compliance regime established by the Criminal Justice Act 1994; examines the practical steps institutions can take to comply with legal powers and considers potential liability for money laundering both in the criminal law and the civil law.
The work also considers Ireland's aggressive stance in relation to the confiscation of criminal proceeds. The Proceeds of Crime Act, 1996, the Criminal Assets Bureau Act and the Disclosure of Certain Information for Taxation and Other Purposes Act 1996 marked revolutionary legislative developments in tracking the proceeds of crime. Several countries including the UK are considering the introduction of similar legislation.
