Etimo ‘ndrangheta e banche

 

Singh Sher [un “trafficante di indiani” tra New Delhi e la Calabria] è infatti un referente del metodo “hawala”,* i circuiti bancari clandestini presenti in Africa, America latina e paesi arabi. Banche parallele dove il danaro circola senza lasciare tracce e senza incorrere nei controlli dell’antiriciclaggio.

* Hawala has its origins in classical Islamic law, and is mentioned in texts of Islamic jurisprudence as early as the 8th century. Hawala itself later influenced the development of the agency in common law and in civil laws such as the aval in French law and the avallo in Italian law. The words aval and avallo were themselves derived from Hawala.
