Money laundering, cybercrime and criminal responsibility of legal persons
REVISTA CAP JURÍDICA CENTRAL, 2019
Directives 2015/849, and 2018/843 on Money Laundering require continuous adaptations of the legal framework to respond to threats of the use of new technologies in money laundering. Directive 2018/843 extends the scope of Directive 2015/849 to providers engaged in exchange services between virtual currencies and fiat currencies as well as custodian wallet providers. Undoubtedly, the new payment systems facilitate money launderers’ criminal activity. These systems are better than cash for moving large sums of money, non-face to face business relationships favour the use of straw buyers, and false identities, the absence of credit risk, as there is usually a prepaid payment, discourages service providers from obtaining a complete, and accurate customer information, and the nature of the trade, and the speed of transactions make it difficult to control property or freezing. However, the development of technologies, including the internet, has unquestionable advantages involved and even...

Money laundering: The offense against the economy and a contemporary global phenomenon
Pravo - teorija i praksa
Money laundering as a form of economic crime is present in both national and international conditions. Despite a large number of definitions, we can say that money laundering refers to a circulation of illegally gained profits, during a shorter or longer period of time, in order to, in a cycle of transformation, at last gain ostensibly legitimate profits. The subject of analysis in this paper were the results of the judicial authorities in Serbia in criminal proceedings against adult perpetrators of crimes against economy. The representation of money laundering in Serbia is analyzed through its relationship with the number of adults and issued convictions for the group of criminal offenses against economy during the period from 2012 to 2015, and then, for all crimes on the territory of Republic of Serbia in that period of time. The given results indicate a very modest participation of this crime in the total crime in the country. This points out primarily two things. Namely, money laundering belongs to the group of transnational crime, and it is difficult to be detected and proved in subsequent proceedings. Furthermore, money laundering is among the crimes where there is a great "dark number", and there are many activities in this sphere beyond the reach of the justice system and official statistics.
The Development Of The Crime Of Money Laundering In The Industrial Revolution 4.0
Melayunesia Law
The development of globalization and technological advances affect the development of money laundering, which used to be a crime carried out conventionally, now money laundering can be carried out virtually so that it is increasingly difficult to detect and the reach of the national legal umbrella is difficult to investigate in increasingly blurred virtual world jurisdictions. This has become a major issue in the process of implementing Indonesian law against virtual money laundering which has caused huge losses to Indonesia's national financial system. The development of the era in the industrial era 4.0 currently has positive and negative impacts on people's lives. Along with these advances, the world of crime cannot be separated from the impact of the industrial era 4.0, one of which is money laundering which utilizes technological advances and system advances. The purpose of this study is to describe money laundering in the current digital 4.0 era. This research uses nor...
Money Laundering as a Financial Sector Crime
2013
Anti–money laundering regulations have been centred on the “Know-Your-Customer” rule so far, overlooking the fact that criminal proceedings that need to be laundered are usually represented by cash. This is the first study aimed at providing an answer to the question of how much of cash deposited via an official financial institution can be traced back to criminal activities. The paper develops a new approach to measure money laundering and then proposes an application to Italy, a country where cash is still widely ...

The increased popularity of Internet-based financial services has led to the introduction of many new innovations. Often described as New Payment Methods, they are frequently offered by providers outside the mainstream financial services industry. While offering improved services to a widened customer base, there is the potential for money laundering and terrorist financing usage, concerns recognised by the European Council. To explore potential misuse, this research focused on a range of new payment methods within the European Union. Analysis included their various features, practical usage and customer identity requirements. Two of the most popular and widely available new payment methods—prepaid credit cards and online payment systems—were selected for more in-depth analysis focusing on those available in the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. This involved applying for, and/or purchasing relevant products and services, and assessing the customer identification and profi...
