Record-keeping Colourful case studies Money laundering bingo What is money laundering? Money laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to conceal the origin of the proceeds of their illegal activities If successful, laundering: o allows criminals to maintain control over their criminal “earnings” o provides a legitimate cover for their source of income The three traditional stages of money laundering Placement Layering Integration The three traditional stages of money laundering Placement: moving criminal cash into the non-cash economy Layering: carrying out numerous transactions, in order to muddy the audit trail and make investigation difficult Integration: infiltrating the money into the legitimate economy in such a way that no-one will suspect (or be able to prove) its criminal origins Why do criminals launder money? To spend it safely To avoid suspicion To avoid detection To avoid forfeiture To evade tax o although smart criminals will always pay some tax To fund further criminal activity Why is money laundering wrong? Laundered money is transient – it is no basis on which to build a business or an economy It ruins the reputation of the financial institution and sector It gives criminals entry to legitimate institutions and enables them to take control It enables criminals to corrupt individuals at all levels of industry and government, giving them undue influence on decisions at the highest levels Ultimately, it can destabilise entire economies – e.g.

  • Sport in Asia: Globalization, Glocalization, Asianization
    7 Sport in Asia: Globalization, Glocalization, Asianization Peter Horton James Cook University, Townsville Australia 1. Introduction Sport is now a truly global cultural institution, one that is no longer the preserve of occidental culture or dominated and organized by Western nations, the growing presence and power of non-occidental culture and individual nations now makes it a truly globalized product and commodity. The insatiable appetite for sport of the enormous Asian markets is redirecting the global flow of sport, with the wider Asia Pacific region now providing massive new audiences for televised sports as the economies of the region continue their growth. This chapter will consider the process of sport’s development in the Asian and the wider Asia Pacific context through the latter phases of the global sportization process (Maguire, 1999). As the locus of the centre of gravity of global geopolitical power is shifting to the Asia Pacific region away from the Euro-Atlantic region the hegemonic sports are now assuming a far more cosmopolitan character and are being reshaped by Asian influences. This has been witnessed in the major football leagues in Europe, particularly the English Premier League and is manifest in the Indian Premier League cricket competition, which has spectacularly changed the face of cricket world-wide through what could be called its ‘Bollywoodization’(Rajadhyaskha, 2003). Perhaps this reflects ‘advanced’ sportization (Maguire, 1999) with the process going beyond the fifth global sportization phase in sport’s second globalization with ‘Asianization’ becoming a major cultural element vying with the previously dominant cultural traditions of Westernization and Americanization? This notion will be discussed in this paper by looking at Asia’s impact on the development of sport, through the three related lenses of: sportization; the global sports formation and, the global media-sport comple.
