Financial Crime Investigator's Handbook: Using OSINT in financial crime hunting
by Robert Maxwell
Financial Crime is more about people than it is about numbers. It is endemic, with trade based money-laundering alone equating to nearly 10% of global GDP. According to industry experts, undeclared offshore wealth amounts to over US$8 trillion - about three times the size of European pension fund assets. The sheer scale of the issue tends to be significantly underestimated, as does its complexity and international character.
This book is a practical guide to investigating financial crime and specifically its perpetrators. It is structured around a real-life case involving the trafficking of rough diamonds from Angola to the primary diamond industry centers globally between 1994-2020. The unique aspect of the book lies in its use of open-source intelligence techniques and methodologies to uncover more relevant information than any previous public investigation. It offers a step-by-step guide using a specific case study and innovative investigative techniques.
