Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the Money Laundering Directives and the connection between money laundering and corruption. In the last decades, money launderers and terrorist financers were trying to take advantage of the freedom of capital movements and the freedom to supply financial services which the integrated financial area entails. The phenomenon which we refer to as money laundering has developed over recent years. Money laundering and terrorist financing are frequently carried out in an international context.
