Routledge Corruption in the Global Era - Law of Financial Crime

Corruption is a rapidly expanding global phenomenon. As globalization develops, the causes, means, and forms of corrupt practices become more deeply rooted in international systems. This book examines how modern developments drive the expansion of these practices across borders. Through the lens of the Law of Financial Crime, this work explores real-world examples that have shaped global awareness, such as the Panama Papers, the FIFA scandals, and the Petrobras case in Brazil. These instances highlight the alarming speed at which corrupt practices move through the global economy. This text addresses the existing gaps in our understanding, specifically the lack of empirical evidence regarding corrupt schemes. It seeks to bridge the imperfect dialogue between different disciplinary areas and improve the connection between academic research and professional practitioners. This is an essential resource for those studying the evolving nature of financial crime in a globalized world.
