Theoretical basis for detection of legalisation of proceeds of criminal activity

Abstract

If we intend to prevent the negative impacts of legalisation of proceeds of criminal activity on the legal financial system and entire economy of a country, it is necessary to safeguard the efficient detection of specific crimes involving legalisation of proceeds of crime. In this respect, knowledge of the theoretical basis of detection dealt with in the first part of the paper, which represents specific criminalistic and security activity, is essential. Detection of legalisation of proceeds of crime has specific features that are based on several determinants. One of those determinants is the legalisation indicator that is deeply encoded in the mode used to commit this kind of crimes. The second part of this paper deals with the modus operandi involved in legalisation of proceeds of crime.
