ROA-ROJAS, Luddy Marcela. Money laundering in formal Colombian economy: approaches to its impact on the GDP of Colombian political-administrative divisions. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2011, vol.53, n.1, pp.329-347. ISSN 1794-3108.

In order to understand how it works and how ill-gotten money is inserted in formal economy, an approximation was made by analyzing criminal-derived proceeds confiscated by the authorities for the purpose of determining their impact on the behavior of the GDP in the Colombian departments, the country's political-administrative divisions. In this respect it was found that those departments located in bordering zones are more aff ected due to the opportunities they off er as an easy way to leave the country or move to other cities where more dynamic economies are enjoyed.
