The Legislature on its part has undertaken significant measures including enacting new statutes and substantially amending (sometimes frequently) existing statutes. This has further resulted in a situation where certain provisions such as those in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 are amended almost on a yearly basis through Finance Acts.

The book ‘White- Collar Crimes in India: Contemporary Issues and Complexities,’ authored by lawyers Susanah Naushad and Mohammed Raiz, and published by Thomson Reuters, seeks to shed light on these and myriad other issues.

The book provides valuable insights into areas of white-collar crime law. As Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra has written in the foreword to the book,

“This well-researched book comes at a vital time as there is an increase in criminal litigation, which might be the result of the downturn in the Indian economy on account of the Covid- 19 pandemic. This book covers largely untouched areas, such as the origin of white- collar crime, its interface with the IPC and other special laws such as the stat­utes for corruption, money laundering, companies law and so on.”
