Art, Antiquity and Law, March 1999.(publ. by Institute of Art and Law http://www.pipemedia.net/ial )

Summary: 
Art and antiquities are frequently the subject of offences of money laundering. This article is the second half of a series on this issue. It explores the impact on   dealers and collectors of police powers of investigation and confiscation, under the   Criminal Justice Act 1988 and the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, of art and   antiquities used in or forming the proceeds of crime.  It describes COPAT's Policy of Due Diligence, which aims to protect art dealers and collectors from criminal   activities and investigations, and to prevent the use of the art market for money   laundering.
