Crimen organizado, Reino Unido, trata de seres humanos.Resumen
El Gobierno del Reino Unido ha manifestado su determinación de hacer frente a las finanzas de la delincuencia organizada, incluidas las finanzas de la trata de seres humanos, abordando "los sustanciales beneficios ilegales de los traficantes", "haciendo frente a los beneficios de los traficantes y esclavistas mediante el aumento de la incautación de activos y la investigación financiera" (HM GOVERNMENT, 2015, p. 22) y tomando medidas para garantizar que la esclavitud moderna no recompense a los autores. El objetivo de este artículo, que se basa en diversas fuentes, como entrevistas con agentes de policía y otros expertos, informes de inteligencia de la policía británica y fuentes abiertas, es ofrecer unas primeras observaciones sobre la cuestión de la investigación financiera de los traficantes de seres humanos en el Reino Unido y evaluar en qué medida se está cumpliendo realmente la intención declarada del Gobierno británico de combatir la trata de seres humanos.
