Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to introduce the lector to online crimes, in which it is possible to link to organized crime and other crimes. The vast growing business of the Internet in modern times, with its inherent international reach, would have been unthinkable in previous eras. Through international joint actions, States can fight crime and curtail the enjoyment of property illegally acquired through criminal activity, particularly with respect to the misuse of online network and money laundering.

Notes

The Internet began in 1969 as a network of four computers located at the University of California at Los Angeles, the University of California at Santa Barbara, the University of Utah, and the Stanford Research Institute. The U.S. Department of Defense funded the initial work through an entity known as the Advanced Research Projects Agency–ARPA. The ARPA Network (ARPANET) was designed to be a decentralized system.
