Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the XXI century has been marked, besides other events, by the globalisation of the economic-financial phenomenon, founding organised crime corporations and sindicates. These can influence more and more the economical and social processes, as well as politics, following two fundamental purposes: obtaining profit and power. This is way adoptation of concrete measures on regional and global level is required, in order to reduce and counteract the economic-financial delinquency, in general, and the illegal money laundering especially. Taking into account the modest experience that I have within the field, in this paper I have tried to give a general image over the money laundering phenomenon and make a brief presentation of the appearance of the phenomenon, of generating causes, of these kind of actions' subjects, operation modalities and decisive factors. Moreover, I have tried to present the legal incrimination in Romania, as well as the necessity of more flexible legal provisions that leed to the reduce of evil effects of these financial mechanisms over the national economies.
