Authors Channing Mavrellis and John Cassara recently authored the report "China's Role in Transnational Crime and Illicit Financial Flows", delving into mainland China’s role in four different transnational crimes—drug trafficking, counterfeiting and IP theft, human trafficking and wildlife trafficking—as well as the illicit financial flows (IFFs) associated with such crimes, as well as what the international community can do to better understand, and combat, these activities – including policy prescriptions.

It was published by Global Financial Integrity (GFI), a Washington, DC-based think tank focused on corruption, illicit trade and money laundering and abuses of the world’s banking and financial system.  

Mavrellis is GFI’s Illicit Trade Director, and Cassara is a GFI board member and was previously a special agent with the US Treasury Department.
