Abstract

Using a practical case study from Guinea, this chapter reviews the money laundering process in African countries and its impact on national development. It explains who constitute ‘PEPs’ and their unique power to acquire state assets corruptly and to launder the proceeds of crime globally. It also focuses on professional money launderers who facilitate the process as well as the role played by financial institutions and off-shore secrecy jurisdictions. The unique vulnerabilities of PEPs are also considered in depth.
