Money Laundering Through Art
The art world has been discovered by criminals as an effective way for money laundering and other clandestine activities on an international level. Unfortunately, in most countries investigators, prosecutors, judges, and regulatory agencies are not equipped to accurately detect, investigate and prosecute this type of criminal activity. Also, regulation and international laws and treaties involving the art world have many loopholes that can potentially lead to the laundering of large sums of money. This book provides a bird’s eye view of novel ways in which money laundering happens through illegal activities involving art. It can serve as a guide for law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and others involved in efforts to curb money laundering and financing of terrorism, revealing why somehow new techniques used by criminals have been neglected by law enforcement in most countries. Drawing from his own experience with the matter in both Brazil and in the United States, the author makes a case for broader institutional and regulatory improvement, extending beyond mere regulation of the art market.

Football, Gambling, and Money Laundering
Professional football means many things to many people. For players, a means to possible fame and fortune.

The Informal Regulation of Criminal Markets in Latin America
This book explains how states informally regulate drug markets in Latin America. It shows how and why state actors, specifically police and politicians, confront, negotiate with, or protect drug dealers to extract illicit rents or prevent criminal violence.

It shows that whether and how politicians control their police forces explains the prevalence of different informal regulatory arrangements to control drug markets. Using detailed case studies built on 180 interviews in four cities in Argentina and Brazil, the book reconstructs how these informal regulatory arrangements emerged and changed over time.
Trails of conquest
The book is about the approximately 300 years of the Brazilian colonial period, from the arrival of the first Portuguese navigators to the expansion of the country’s borders beyond what was defined by the Treaty of Tordesillas. As a language resource, the drawings of Vallandro Keating and the text of the journalist and historian Ricardo Maranhão complement each other, providing an unexpected perspective of the space and new angles of vision for old maps and representations, stimulating the reflection about embedded intellectual positions established by the traditional historiography.
