These hearings examine the activities of various Asian crime groups.
Abstract
While the vast majority of Asian Americans are law-abiding, hard-working, and productive members of society, there is evidence that Asian organized crime groups have become well established in the United States and are engaged in a wide variety of criminal activities. However, such groups cannot be viewed simply as a domestic problem, but are an international problem confronting law enforcement around the globe. These hearings include testimony from: (1) Staff Investigator, US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations; (2) a member of a Hong Kong-based triad who personifies the new international criminal; (3) the Financial Crimes Enforcement Center; (4) representatives from the Toronto Police. Subjects covered in the hearings include, but are not limited to, international money laundering and Asian organized crime involvement in counterfeit credit card schemes. Graphics
