AB This article analyses the development of police-bank relationships, principally in the UK but also elsewhere, within the context of the control of money laundering. It argues that we have moved from a situation of national control over bank secrecy to an emerging New International Order in which most, though not all, countries are pressurised into taking greater measures to reduce bank secrecy where crime is suspected. In Europe, particularly, banks are being turned into an arm of the state by being required to keep detailed records and to inform police where they suspect - or even where they ought to suspect - that moneys banked are the proceeds of crime. The article concludes with discussion of the limitations on this process generated by political economy factors.
