The impact of international trade on the growing volume of money laundering

Abstract EN

Money laundering is one of the most serious crimes that threaten societies, as the crime encourages drug dealers and international mafia gangs to harm the economies of countries and devalue the national currency as a result of transferring money abroad.

in addition to the spread of unemployment and chronic diseases among young people due to drug abuse, also, money laundering contributes to the growth of other crimes, such as the crime of human trafficking and the crime of selling human organs, hence, the research aims to shed light on the relationship between international trade and bank transfers on the one hand and the increase in money laundering crimes on the other hand, and to show how to combat that crime and the suitability of international and national legislation to reduce it.
