ANALYSIS OF THE CRIME OF MONEY LAUNDERING. MONEY LAUNDERING TECHNIQUES

Summary/Abstract: Money laundering is a complex global phenomenon, which has evolved with the expansion of organized crime and the globalization of the economy, being closely linked to illegal activities that generate significant revenues. The main activities that generate funds for money laundering include drug trafficking, fraud, human trafficking and corruption. Through sophisticated and often crossborder techniques, criminals reintroduce these funds into the real economy, affecting free competition and destabilizing economic markets. In this context, national and international authorities have implemented regulations and prevention measures, and Romanian legislation regulates the crime of money laundering through Law no. 129/2019, thus aligning itself with European Union norms. Money laundering techniques include the placement, layering and integration of funds, and the process may involve the purchase of securities, falsification of accounting documents or international financial transfers. This phenomenon, although regulated by various legal frameworks, continues to represent a major challenge for the authorities fighting organized crime.
