Den islamske finansnæring og den anti-kapitalistiske passer som hånd i hanske

Pakistan continues to be a haven for 'dirty money', mainly because of its lax white collar criminal laws and its inability to enforce even these laws to curb the crime.

Money launderers are not interested in profit generation from their investments but rather in protecting their proceeds. Thus they invest their funds in activities that are not necessarily economically beneficial to the country where the funds are located. Among its other negative socio-economic effects, money laundering transfers economic power from the market, government, and citizens to criminals. Furthermore, the sheer magnitude of economic power that accrues to criminals from money laundering has a corrupting effect on all elements of society. In extreme cases it can lead to the virtual take-over of legitimate government.
