Ola begins her book describing the origin of money laundering dates back in ancient times, caught me with total surprise.

The book covers major typologies, advancement made and upcoming trends for various areas of illicit flow such as human trafficking, modern day slavery, drug trafficking etc. It is done beautifully by telling real-life financial crime cases, which helps recognize on how money laundering is not a victimless crime as it may seem firsthand.

Additionally, summarizes the history of laws and regulations in place to fight financial crime, and key steps we can take to be more efficient.

The book will enable you to see the world differently and a must read for everyone for including compliance experts.

This stuff kills me. I feel like I am constantly listening to the same thing. I want more detail from case studies. Great read though. Very much like a textbook. The topic is pretty repetitive.
