International Financial Crime Regulation

This class focuses on international economic crime and recent efforts to fight it. It is organized into three sections. The first covers substantive crimes, including tax, money laundering and counterterrorism financial enforcement, transnational corruption, transnational organized crime, and export control and economic sanctions. The second examines procedural aspects of international financial crime regulation, namely extraterritorial jurisdiction, evidence gathering, and extradition. The third considers the role of international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Bank Group, INTERPOL, and economic integration groups. By the end of the course, students will have a good working knowledge of the systems by which the international community seeks to deter, detect, and punish international financial crime.
