Legal Perspectives on the Nigerian Anti-Money-Laundering Regime: Spotlight on Politically Exposed Persons is a groundbreaking new book by Dr. Ugochukwu Nwosu-Iheme that presents the first socio-legal assessment of the effectiveness of Nigeria’s anti-money laundering (AML) legal and regulatory frameworks in combating corruption and money laundering activities by politically exposed persons (PEPs).

 

The book delves into the legal, political and constitutional obstacles that hinder the enforcement of AML laws targeting PEPs in Nigeria. Through extensive research and case studies, Dr. Nwosu-Iheme affirms that the current AML legal frameworks are largely ineffective in curbing the stealing and laundering of public funds by PEPs.

“Given the distinctive political, economic, and financial power of PEPs, owing to their control of state resources and influence over government institutions, this book examines the factors that impede the implementation of AML laws against them,” said Dr. Nwosu-Iheme. “Ultimately, I propose bold reforms to grant law enforcement greater authority to confiscate and recover the proceeds of grand corruption.”

Legal Perspectives on the Nigerian Anti-Money-Laundering Regime is a valuable resource for:

  • Financial institutions seeking guidance on compliance with AML policies
  • Lawmakers looking to strengthen legislation to combat financial crimes
  • Law enforcement agencies responsible for investigating and prosecuting PEPs
  • Anyone interested in understanding the challenges of fighting money laundering in Nigeria

The book has received high praise from Justice K.M.O. Kekere-Ekun of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, who states: “It is hoped that the recommendations made, if implemented, would go a long way deterring AML activities, thereby enhancing Nigeria’s standing in the International Community as a country that has the political will to combat the menace of money laundering by PEPs.”
