'I am very happy to recommend this excellent and detailed book on what is an extremely important subject. Anyone with an interest in the prevention and control of money-laundering should read this book.' Andrew Campbell, University of Leeds, UK 'An exceptionally well researched book on the principles of the law in the EU, England and Wales on the prevention of international economic crime. The author explains how the reporting system and the exchange of financial intelligence constitute an integral part of the global Anti-Money Laundering Regime, and analyses the obligations imposed on the investigative authorities. This book is essential reading for judicial bodies, regulators, professionals, academics, and law students.' Dr Giuseppe CalA , SC, New Court Chambers, London, UK 'An exciting new addition to the libraries of academics and practitioners, this exceptional research sheds light into the theory and practice of the control of international economic crime in the EU. Its main contribution to the field, apart from the originality of the research, is its dual nature as a wonderfully researched academic expose of the legislative framework coupled with a creative critique on how this applies in practice. A must for practitioners, a must for academics and postgraduate researchers.' Helen Xanthaki, University of London, UK
