Money Laundering Research Related to Europe
Organised Crime and Money Laundering Trends and Countermeasures:
A Comparison Between Western and Eastern Europe
The scope of this contribution is to provide an overview of recent
trends in organised crime and money laundering activities in the countries of central and
eastern Europe, and to underline the contrast policies devised to prevent the
infiltration of financial systems in these countries by organised criminal groups.
However, in order to achieve a better understanding of these phenomena and to
make an evaluation of existing contrast and prevention policies, it is necessary to
adopt a wider perspective, which also comprises western Europe.
