The backbone of any stable country is its economy and most specially its economic stability. This is very reason
why institutions have been put in place to protect the economy. Zambia is no exception to this state of affairs as
like many countries it is a victim of economic crimes. The handbook on economic crimes is an attempt to give a
glimpse on the law surrounding this field of law. The book traverses both the legal and institutional framework in the
area of corruption, money laundering, economic sabotage and terrorism among others. It addresses the functions of
institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Commission, Drug Enforcement Commission, Anti-Money Laundering Unit
and Zambia Revenue Authority among others.
This is a succinct yet comprehensive guide on economic crimes in Zambia. It is the hope of the author that this will
spark interest in this particular field of law among authors, lawyers and practitioners in related fields.
