This paper aims to examine the phenomena of corruption and money laundering, outlining the relationship of “continuity” running between them. The analysis presented here focuses on the evolution of modern criminal networks and their methods in recent years. The results highlight the points of convergence between the prevention models compared here (anti-corruption and anti-recycling) and the importance of redressing the information imbalance underlying the asymmetry between the State and organised crime. From this point of view, judicial support and internal control systems are indispensable tools in the fight against transnational crime.
