"Combating Money Laundering in Africa: Dealing with the Problems of PEPs" by John Hatchard is a comprehensive study on the issue of money laundering in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on politically exposed persons (PEPs). The book examines the challenges faced by African countries in combating money laundering and explores the role of PEPs in the process. Hatchard recommends a three-pronged approach to address the problem, including effective action at the national, transactional, and corporate levels. The book provides in-depth analysis and case studies to highlight the depth of the problem and advocates for the development of political will, economic sanctions, and asset recovery mechanisms to combat money laundering.
