Annual gross product of identified criminal activities is approximately 1000 billion $ that is to say 20$ of world trade. Admitting that charges on this kind of business represent 50% of this gross product (suppliers, production, corruption, investment, management fee?) means that the annual profit of criminal organization is around 500 billion US $. We can then understand the issues that international criminality represents. The extent of the phenomena requires the implication of economical agents and the role of developed countries' banks is indisputable. That way, we observe that the limit between licit and illicit is not clearly defined, that there are grey areas through which illicit activities can go.
