Beskrivning

This book offers a rare insight into the transnational expansion and various corners of the illicit economy in Turkey including the smuggling of pharmaceuticals, oil, antiquities, drugs, nuclear materials and cigarettes. Mahmut Cengiz and Mitchel P. Roth provide an in depth analysis of the criminals, terrorists, money launderers, and corrupt politicians at the highest levels of the Turkish government. They analyze the unintended consequences of corruption scandals which have resulted in the purging of important law enforcement and intelligence entities formerly responsible for countering terrorism and organized crime threats as well as growing political tensions with the United States.

Recensioner i media

This book provides a fascinating and comprehensive view of the diverse groups and forms of organized crime in Turkey facilitated by widespread corruption reaching to the top of government. Drs. Cengiz and Roth skillfully explain how Turkey’s proximity to the conflict in Iraq and Syria and its strategic location along the drug route out of Afghanistan makes Turkey a key hub of smuggling and illicit trade both for criminals and terrorists. Dr. Cengiz's field experience in investigating human trafficking and corruption in Eastern Turkey brings great insight into how past conflicts shape the dynamics of the contemporary trafficking in women. This detailed and fascinating analysis of money laundering and threat finance on a massive scale in Turkey will be of particular interest to readers.
