Economía criminal y lavado de dinero

Abstract

The profits made by organized crime in Mexico are very high, so they will want to introduce more illicit goods into the financial market. The problem of money laundering is therefore expected to increase. The objective of this article is to uncover the main sources of financing for organized crime that results in the growth of its economic power and the manipulation of authority. If the relevant organizations focus on effectively combating each of the sources, the result will be a domino effect, as they will have less profitability in their secondary businesses, their purchasing power will decrease as well as their power to control and, therefore, the possibility of money laundering will be reduced.
