Japan: Japan to Launch Harmonisation on Organised Crime Provisions — Too Late and Too Little?

Abstract

Despite the trend in many countries in their attitudes to fill in the pitfalls in their anti‐organised‐crime legislatures by broadening its scope, especially in money‐laundering provisions, there have been, quite surprisingly, no legislative efforts made in Japan to follow such a trend. However, Japan appears to try to combat organised crime in the same way as others in the wake of borderless and diversified activities of organised crime and in the need for international cooperation in investigations.
