Abstract: Abstract It is only in recent times that economic analysis has focused on the financial aspects of illegal activities, and it is a topic which has thus far been completely absent in the academic literature. The basic theoretical reason lies in the absence of special treatment of monetary and financial aspects within the traditional Becker model. Furthermore, the complexity of the topic also creates the need to adopt a multidisciplinary approach by using cognitive instruments associated with different disciplines: economics, law, politics and social sciences.
