Over US$ 2 trillion in ‘dirty’ money is washed and moved around the world every year, much of it by organized crime syndicates grossing more than many developed economies. Simultaneously terrorist groups raise millions of dollars each year but are able to mount attacks on a shoestring. Both criminal launderers and terrorist groups are increasingly using alternative systems (including the Internet) instead of traditional banking routes to launder and distribute their funds. The fully updated third edition of "Dirty Dealing" exposes and analyses the awesome scale of this illegal activity – from the $11 million in South American illegal drug proceeds laundering through just one US bank in 2005 to the $12 million raised each year by a single terror group.
