Financial crime in Canada remains a mystery: omnipresent, but we know little about its operation. Transactions are cloaked with apparent legality, which makes tracking criminal activity through economic or financial statistics a complex undertaking. A web of clandestine processes disguises its scale and location. As a result, financial crime is difficult to detect, disrupt, deter, and prosecute. This volume opens the black box of financial crime in the Canadian federation. Its findings will help to inhibit the in-, out-, and through-flows of vast sums of dirty money by enhancing the capacity to investigate and prosecute financial criminals. With a primary focus on money laundering, Dirty Money identifies federal and provincial trends including regulatory, legislative, political, institutional, and enforcement trends that have inadvertently enabled the proliferation of this illicit activity.
