Description
This book describes and analyses one of the greatest threats to India's security and
economic well-being: organized crime, the huge sums of money generated as a result and made use of for various nefarious activities. It examines the increasingly
sophisticated methods used to convert or 'launder' proceeds of crime into legal
tender, and shows how the nature of large-scale crime is inevitably transnational. It
goes on to highlight the intimate connection between terrorist activities and crimes
like drug trafficking, political corruption, tax evasion, and trafficking in women
and children.
