Muller, Kalin, & Goldsworth: Anti-Money Laundering: International Law and Practice

Wouter H. Muller (Henley & Partners, Zurich), Christian H. Kälin (Henley & Partners, Zurich), & John G. Goldsworth (Henley & Partners, Jersey) have published Anti-Money Laundering: International Law and Practice (Wiley 2007). Here's the abstract:
Anti-Money Laundering is the definitive reference on money laundering and practice. First an outline will be given of the general approach taken by supra-national organisations like the United Nations and the European Council. Next the approach taken by international organisations and initiatives on the basis of the supra-national initiatives will be outlined by senior members of those organisations. A number of countries will then describe their specific prevention legislation. Countries involved will all be member-countries of the FATF (Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering). Finally there will be an overview to enable the reader to make a comparison between the most important topics of money laundering legislation and rules in the different countries.
