| Description | The purpose of this paper is to analyse the current state of affairs related to the measures against legalisation of proceeds of crime and of financing terrorism not only in the Czech Republic but also in the world (international) and European context. After a brief introduction and historical excursion the authors will be focused on explanation of the crucial concepts of the paper, which are legalisation of proceeds of crime (so-called money laundering) and financing terrorism. These socially undesirable activities are traditionally associated with the organised crime and in many countries around the world are outlawed (criminalised). Other parts of the paper will be oriented primarily territorially. Considering the global nature of the issue, the authors will be in the first focused to the international environment, especially the international cooperation that could come through in the form of signatures of international agreements or participation in international organizations and institutions. |
