Abstract

The economic dynamics of the last thirty years worldwide has shifted progressively towards an increasingly decoupled from production to turn to the securitization of values (as it shows the development of derivatives markets). Although this activity is one of those that are heavily regulated by the state (in our country that authority is located in the BCRA and specifically in the SEFyC), financial business does not cease to be characterized by its illegality, which is tolerated by the politicians due to the existent corruption within the state structure. These illegality notes are not always easy to identify because in the process of decision-making invisible forces operate with enough ability to control the government in order to guarantee this enormous business that take place in the banking market. This project aims to study the links between corruption and economic crime, focusing on one specific type of economic crime: the financial one. The objective is to study the impact of corrupt practices here in the financial system, and also the functional links between the corruption and the need to facilitate these big businesses that occur in the banking market. This research attempts to investigate, with descriptive purposes, links and relations between business and financial illegality.
