Introduction to Financial Crime Law

Money laundering and terrorist financing have given rise to an extensive legal and regulatory regime across much of the developed world. Banks and other regulated businesses monitor and report their customers' activities to law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement agencies, in turn, sift through a myriad such reports to identify truly criminal behaviour and benefit from an ever-expanding array of tools at their disposal to confiscate the proceeds of crime (or funds intended for terrorist use). What role can the law play in curbing money laundering among increasingly sophisticated actors? Join lecturer and economic crime expert Dr Anton Moiseienko for this introductory masterclass into Financial Crime Law, a new elective in the ANU Master of Laws.
