Money laundering is a crime of recent origin.  Its social, political and economic implications are far and wide. For the criminal justice administration system, money laundering assumes a lot of importance in as much as the global crimes such as drug trafficking, terrorism etc. thrive on money laundering.   Money laundering on a large scale could result in economic and political instability in a country.  Realising such potential of the offence the international community has initiated several measures with a view to curbing it.                                                   With a view to creating awareness and to alert the officers responsible for the prevention of money laundering, government of India arranged a seminar at the Indian Law Institute in 2005.  Several issues concerning this were deliberated upon.  The book contains some of the papers presented in this seminar.  While the international dimensions of anti money laundering measures are being captured by Dr. Francis Julian, Professor Pillai tries to evaluate the efficacy of the Indian legislation.  The role of the banks and the technological aspects of money laundering are examined in depth by M/s.K.K.Jindal and Mr. Vakul Sharma.  The short piece of Shri Bhure Lal gives an overview of the legal regime concerning money laundering.  All the documents on prevention of money laundering such as the enactment, rules and the notifications issued by the Govt. of India have been put in the appendix making it a self-contained comprehensive work.  The book was released by Hon’ble Dr.H.R.Bharadwaj, Minister of Law and Justice by giving away a copy to the Hon’ble Minister of Finance, Shri Chidambaram on the 20th August 2008 in a function held in the Indian Law Institute.  It is very useful for advocates, judges, law teachers and law students.
