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.
