Should we be worried about the use of mobile money for financial crimes? \n\nIn this quick guide, Andrew Dornbierer explains how mobile money could be abused for corruption and money laundering. Drawing on on-the-ground experience in Sub-Saharan Africa, he also outlines how law enforcement officers can take advantage of this widespread payment method to catch corruption and money laundering schemes and prove them in court. \n\n### About this Quick Guide\n\nThis work is licensed under a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcreativecommons.org\u002Flicenses\u002Fby-nc-nd\u002F4.0\u002F\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License\u003C\u002Fa>. It is part of the Basel Institute on Governance Quick Guide series, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.baselgovernance.org\u002Fpublications?type=2428\">ISSN 2673-5229\u003C\u002Fa>.","","English, French, Portuguese, Spanish",2020,"Basel Institute on Governance","2020-07-28",false,[21,22],"Anti-Money Laundering","Asset Recovery",[24],{"url":25,"caption":26},"\u002Fresources\u002Fpublications?type=Quick%20Guide"," View all quick guides",[28],{"url":29,"caption":30},"https:\u002F\u002Flearn.baselgovernance.org\u002Fcourse\u002Fview.php?id=39"," View on LEARN (EN, ES, FR, PT)",[21,32],"Asset Recovery and Enforcement",[34,35,36,37],"English","French","Portuguese","Spanish",[39],"Quick Guide",{"id":41,"storage":42,"filename_disk":43,"filename_download":44,"title":45,"type":46,"created_on":47,"modified_on":8,"charset":7,"filesize":48,"width":49,"height":50,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":7,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":51,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":47},"4ecbd4cb-4dbb-4316-be05-b18e47fc0dce","local","4ecbd4cb-4dbb-4316-be05-b18e47fc0dce.jpg","Cover-quick-guide-mobile-money.jpg","Quick guide to mobile money_cover","image\u002Fjpeg","2022-04-27T11:54:11.000Z",395660,2481,3508,{},[],[],[55,84,104,124],{"id":56,"publications_id":57,"directus_files_id":76},1876,{"id":5,"status":6,"sort":7,"user_created":58,"date_created":8,"user_updated":59,"date_updated":9,"nid":10,"slug":11,"image":41,"title":12,"body":13,"citation":14,"language":15,"year":16,"publisher":17,"date_published":18,"external":19,"topic":60,"link_internal":61,"link_external":63,"featured":19,"topics":65,"languages":66,"type":67,"area":7,"programme":7,"websites":7,"summary":7,"pdf_text":7,"main_points":7,"short_version":7,"subtitle":7,"countries":68,"tags":69,"pdf":70,"authors":74},"03bebfd8-0b40-4a2a-820d-b9d9c13b9de6","3d9ff205-1640-4f34-b5b6-86977f51bbd6",[21,22],[62],{"url":25,"caption":26},[64],{"url":29,"caption":30},[21,32],[34,35,36,37],[39],[],[],[56,71,72,73],1877,1878,1879,[75],2027,{"id":77,"storage":42,"filename_disk":78,"filename_download":79,"title":79,"type":80,"folder":81,"uploaded_by":58,"created_on":8,"modified_by":7,"modified_on":8,"charset":7,"filesize":82,"width":7,"height":7,"duration":7,"embed":7,"description":83,"location":7,"tags":7,"metadata":7,"focal_point_x":7,"focal_point_y":7,"tus_id":7,"tus_data":7,"uploaded_on":8},"f52caec4-8613-4fbe-9bb5-ba6cd3bbdba4","f52caec4-8613-4fbe-9bb5-ba6cd3bbdba4.pdf","qg18-mobile-money.pdf","application\u002Fpdf","67f22e04-d26f-4baa-b91f-acc5f89d87f5",194389,"PDF -
