The subject of money laundering is always topical, and is dealt with in numerous reports by international organizations, as well as in analyses and other studies by experts, academics and other researchers. This is the "classic" form of money laundering, involving both financial and non-financial businesses and professions, as defined by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the international body that sets standards in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It is true that the theme of money laundering, in its "classic" form, has been sufficiently dealt with, but not in its "evolved" form with the use of new technologies, hence the choice of the theme of this book. Indeed, a new, "more sophisticated" form of money laundering has emerged in recent years with the use of new technologies, also involving, unbeknownst to them, new intermediaries, namely Internet service providers through their platforms, as well as the financial sector through the various services and products it offers.
