Where do criminals move their illicit money, according to judicial and investigative evidence? This book answers these questions. It is an unprecedented study on the countries at highest risk of attracting money laundering and organised crime proceeds â and how they are identified as such by scholars, policy-makers and anti-money laundering (AML) practitioners. It targets an issue which is central to the policy debate, in the media, but is under-studied. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is divided into two parts. Part I discusses the concept of money laundering risk, its main determinants, and carries out a review of extant country ratings, ranging from official blacklists and grey lists, to media leaks and scholarly papers.

Riccardi's book is a huge step forward in fixing this sad state of affairs. \u003ci\u003eMoney Laundering Blacklists\u003c\/i\u003e takes an original, rigorous approach in transforming our understanding of where the real risks of dirty money lie, and how the fight against illicit finance should be re-focused. It's rare that a book can be so important and compelling for both scholars and policy-makers, but Riccardi has achieved this rare feat\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason Sharman, \u003ci\u003eSir Patrick Sheehy Professor of International Relations University of Cambridge\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"For a nation to be blacklisted for anything is troubling. To be blacklisted for an activity as apparently serious as failure to control money laundering is deeply troubling. Yet, Michele Riccardi's scholarly but very readable book shows that the label is usually applied by official bodies in an arbitrary and unhelpful way. Riccardi offers a theoretically informed empirical approach to testing whether a country truly belongs on a money laundering blacklist\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Reuter,\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eDistinguished Professor of Public Policy and Criminology at the University of Maryland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book reminds us that the current state of the art on assessing national anti-money laundering risk is woefully insufficient.
