Dirty Money: Uncovering the Hidden World of Financial Crime in Canada
New Book Reveals the Corrosive Impact of Financial Crime on Canadian Communities
Authors Chris Leuprecht and John Ferrill explore the intricacies of financial crime in Canada in their new book, “Dirty Money: Financial Crime in Canada.” This covert underworld is corroding Canadian society, and the authors argue that weak regulatory mechanisms and limited enforcement efforts by Canadian authorities have contributed to its persistence and expansion.
The Extensive Reach of Financial Crime in Canada
According to Leuprecht and Ferrill, the financial crime landscape in Canada is vast and complex. They reveal how criminals commit fraud and other financial crimes with impunity. The authors assert that the societal and economic consequences of financial crime go beyond individual cases, fuelling issues such as:
- Inflated housing prices
- Intensified gang violence and shootings
- Opioid overdose epidemic
- Human trafficking
- Other forms of exploitation
Raising Public Awareness
Despite these alarming facts, Canadian awareness about financial crime remains woefully inadequate. Leuprecht and Ferrill are dedicated to changing this by raising public awareness about the role financial crime plays in our society and the steps citizens and authorities can take to combat it.
