Corruption and money laundering, and their impacts on government and society, are increasingly prevalent parts of public life and discourse. This unit introduces students to the principles and practice underlying laws pertaining to anti-money laundering and anti-corruption, and their enforcement. It will focus on the legal frameworks that have been established to combat the various aspects and stages of money laundering and corruption, and the work of certain agencies in regulating industries and enforcing those laws. Topics will include bribery of public officials, cartel behaviour, anti-money laundering/counter- terrorism financing, asset recovery and transnational enforcement, amongst others.
