Abstract
Organised crime is chameleonic in nature. It is transnational, dynamic, overlapped
criminal activities and pervasive in nature. In the same way, money laundering is the
predicate offence and it is naturally linked to other organised crimes. After the cold war,
this nexus culminated during the occurrence of 9/11 in particular which was a lethal
combination of money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF). This combination is
currently being experienced by Pakistan; where various terrorist groups are involved
with direct and indirect support of proceeds from drug trafficking, assassination, land
grabbing, arms smuggling and various other organised crimes routing through the
abusage of financial and non-financial channels and support to terrorism. This has left
serious socio-politico and economic consequences in the south Asian region and global
as well. The researcher found very limited evidence of money laundering characteristics
in the existing research literature on Pakistan. Thus to carry out research work on the
subject was need of the hour in Pakistan. This led the researcher to find out root causes
and existing weaknesses at the regime’s end in countering financial crime and financing
of terrorism.
