ABSTRACT
The business of a transnational organized crime group is only partially completed when its representatives in a victim country receive proceeds of the group’s criminal activities. The money must be transmitted home to the organized crime group or to a third country where the funds are equally useful to it. In this chapter, the authors demonstrate how difficult, costly and potentially dangerous to a transnational organized crime group this process can be, exploring alternatives available to the hypothetical chief financial officer of a drug cartel.
