Doing Business with Criminals
Doing Business with Criminals
Doing Business with Criminals
Legitimate companies occasionally find themselves doing business with criminals, wittingly or unwittingly. Past decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion in the array of criminal law and regulatory rules that govern such entanglements. These rules raise fundamental questions about commerce and society, such as: when can someone be excluded from day-to-day commercial interactions? Where is the boundary between legitimate surveillance of suspicious transactions and financial privacy? And, ultimately, what is the point of financial crime rules: are they meant to exclude suspected criminals from the legitimate economy, or help to gather intelligence on them? This book is the first comprehensive account of how these dilemmas shape financial crime rules. Based on a sweeping overview of international experience, it tells a story that will be of interest to a wide audience ranging from the seasoned financial crime expert to the general reader.

Julians Samlade Bekännelser
Han är snygg, självsäker och fullständigt vilse. Julian lever för kickarna snabba blickar, intensiva möten, och den korta, darrande tystnaden innan kläderna faller. Men under ytan bubblar något mörkare: ensamhet, rastlöshet och ett desperat behov av att känna något på riktigt. Efter att ha gjort succé som följetong är Julian tillbaka i en samling laddad med åtrå, konflikt och obekväma sanningar. Innehåller även tidigare opublicerat material helt nyskrivet för denna samling. Anton Alderwijk skriver med skoningslös ärlighet och erotisk precision om en ung man som vägrar välja mellan att bli älskad och att bli begärd och som i slutändan kanske förlorar båda.
