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.
This thorough analysis of immigration governance in Spain explores the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion at play at one of Europe’s southern borders. David Moffette analyzes Spain’s processes of immigration governance and reveals the complicated series of legal obstacles facing many migrants. Differential access to border mobility is a central concern of contemporary politics, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the European Union, where external borders have been strengthened to prevent irregular entry and internal borders have been removed to promote free circulation. Moffette draws on interviews with policymakers and on more than three decades of parliamentary debates, laws, and policy documents to show that culture, labour, and security issues intersect to create a regime of migration governance that is at once progressive and repressive. A detailed empirical analysis of Spanish immigration policy, this book provides a thought-provoking and insightful contribution to debates in socio-legal, border, and citizenship studies.

This volume offers an in-depth analysis of the social phenomenon of migration from various legal-linguistic perspectives. Migration has become a global phenomenon and a burning issue provoking social conflict and political instability in modern societies all over the world. The question of dealing with migrants and asylum seekers has dominated political discourse. It has given rise to national and international legislation on emigration and immigration, some of them including discriminatory provisions, pressed laws against immigration (Acts of exclusion) and prompted anti-migration rhetoric and hate speech against migrants. Important efforts have been made in both common law and civil law jurisdictions to protect migrants' fundamental rights to dignity and equality.
This book identifies and examines the novel ways in which money is laundered internationally through illegal activities on the internet, focusing on sales, payments, social media, online gaming, and tax misapplication. Technology-enhanced methods that enable money laundering are now a significant portion of malicious cyber activities and deterring its commission is a high order priority.

Professional football means many things to many people. For players, a means to possible fame and fortune. For fans, a source of local or national pride, and perhaps the chance to score with a few bets. For criminal organizations, a cover for making millions in corrupt enterprises. In the world of gambling this is no different. Football, Gambling, and Money Laundering describes in impressive detail the scope of the problem, the layers of denial that allow sports-related financial crime to flourish, and the steps that are being taken--and that need to be taken--to combat illicit operations in the sports world. Expert analysis explains criminal activity in the context of football, and how spor...
La Gran Recesión, iniciada en el territorio de la UE en 2008, ha supuesto un cierto cambio de ciclo en los fenómenos migratorios. Este es el caso de los países sudamericanos que en lo que va de siglo han experimentado un cierto proceso de doble dirección con España, en lo que a migraciones se refiere. Se trata de una investigación que parte de una perspectiva comparada. España y Argentina presentan más diferencias que similitudes en sus respectivas experiencias con el fenómeno migratorio. En consonancia con ello, los instrumentos normativos y políticos que estructuran el control migratorio en ambos estados también son netamente disímiles. En el caso español, el análisis de la s...
A corrupção é, sem dúvida, um dos maiores males que assola a humanidade, porque cruel, ela contribui para a dor na fila dos hospitais, na mesa vazia do desvalido, eis que, sorrateira, cresce e se desenvolve na escuridão do analfabetismo. Eis aí a razão pela qual se deve combatê-la, lutando no exercício de regate da cidadania, pouco importando se a tarefa é difícil. Sim, porque as mãos que a praticam, embora sujas, não deixam pegadas na quase totalidade das vezes. (...) É de todo oportuna, imperiosa, vigorosa a expressão de um enérgico grito de basta, a exigir um ponto final à impunidade, à cavilosa proteção mútua de certos homens que, sob pretexto de cuidar dos interesses de todos só o faziam em benefício próprio e em detrimento da sociedade. Basta! Basta! José Bernardo Cabral in Prefácio Relator-geral da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte que elaborou a Constituição Federal de 1988.
O livro conta com o artigo "Mani Pulite" do Ministro da Justiça e Segurança Pública, Sérgio Moro. (...) a grande temática, hoje, nas lides jurídicas é de saber como combater a corrupção – e tem sido combatida- com respeito aos direitos e garantias constitucionais – o que nem sempre tem ocorrido –, num Estado Democrático, em que o equilíbrio e a harmonia dos Poderes são fundamentais para o exercício da cidadania e a manutenção da justiça democrática. É o que os brilhantes autores trazem à reflexão do universo jurídico brasileiro, com variada linha de estudos, nos quais tais facetas são apontadas. In Prefácio, de Ives Gandra da Silva Martins
