Book excerpt: This study helps identify new directions for law enforcement and judicial tribunals seeking to stem the flow of illegal money into the world's economies, and examines the complex interplay of local and international laws and enforcement practices-especially in the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, and Jamaica. Topics include systematic corruption engendered by money laundering, secrecy inherent in the offshore financial industry, shortcomings of criminal penalties for money laundering, tensions created by extraterritorial jurisdiction, and the often contradictory effects of U.S. foreign policy.
