Reviews

Enablers! This is us in the richer countries, facilitating corruption, hurting the lives of billions of people across the globe. Vogl sounds a clarion call for change. He brings a lifetime of experience to his compelling stories highlighting the role of private as well as public enablers corrupting the global financial system.--Raymond W. Baker, Founding President, Global Financial Integrity The Enablers is a brilliant tour de force, taking its reader through the world of slime and sleaze that drips from the supposedly legitimate world where international commerce collides with the corrupt and the powerful. To everyone who is concerned about the future of our world, read this, and once armed with the facts, get out there and demand a credible response from your government!--Simon Taylor, Director, Co-founder, Global Witness This eye-opening book reveals a world that is unknown to most--the key facilitators of transnational crime and the looting of countries. The facilitators that Frank Vogl brings to life cause irreparable harm through their complex financial and legal maneuvers often hard to detect until it is too late. This book presents a clarion call to focus more on these pernicious enablers.--Prof. Louise Shelley, George Mason University; Director, Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) Vogl's timely book emphasizes both the urgency and the opportunity to rein in the professional enablers of financial crime and to disrupt this business model. A compelling read for everyone interested to find out how we can make our societies more resilient to corruption.--Daniel Erickson, Managing Director, Transparency International
