Money Laundering in the Market Place: Navigating in the Colombia Business Jungle

Abstract

Doing business in Colombia can be a sobering experience for multinational companies. Recently, the CEOs of a variety of global multinationals and banks were surprised to read in the morning papers that their companies ‘became unwitting accomplices in the international drug trade’, according to the Chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, House Banking Committee, US House of Representatives. With that opening salvo, the war on drugs entered the corporate boardroom. United States and other global companies are fast becoming combat veterans. Such are the perils of the global marketplace, especially in the business jungle in Colombia.
