Dirty Assets

'Dirty Assets is a remarkable collection of scientific contributions, which follow the common thread of examining how criminal activities might be countered by putting a stop to illicit financial flows... In conclusion, the volume, which appears written with a clear view of its impact on future directions and developments in the area of criminal assets confiscation and recovery, achieves the goal of offering a brilliant overview of the most relevant measures implemented at both domestic and supranational level in order to interrupt the illicit financial flows that feed criminal and terrorist organisations, enabling them to carry out their criminal activities.'

Costantino Grasso, University of East London, UK, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology

’Following the money that funds terror and motivates organised crime is not a new strategy. However, much of what has been done has not had significant results - at least measured in traditional law enforcement terms. We need to learn from those systems that have better disrupted the criminal pipeline and increasingly think of new strategies and devices. This excellent book, edited by two leading scholars in criminal justice, provides in its treasury of experience if not all the answers, certainly some. Anyone concerned with taking the profit out of crime or pursuing terrorists more effectively will not be disappointed.’ Barry Rider, University of Cambridge, UK '... le parfait manuel de droit comparé pour [...] mieux comprendre l’approche ’follow-the-money’ ... L’ouvrage Dirty Assets est sans aucun doute l’un des plus riches et des plus intéressants parus en la matière ces dernières années.' ['... the perfect comparative law handbook [...] to understand the follow-the-money approach ... Dirty Assets is without a doubt one of the most valuable and interesting books published on this topic within the last years.'] Revue de droit pénal et de criminologie
