| Description | The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current state of affairs related to the measures against legalization of proceeds of crime and of financing terrorism not only in the Czech Republic but also in global and European context. After a brief introduction and historical excursion the authors will focus on the explanation of crucial concepts of the paper, which are “legalization of proceeds of crime (so-called money laundering)” and “financing terrorism”. These socially undesirable activities are traditionally associated with the organized crime and in many countries around the world are outlawed. The other parts of the paper will be oriented primarily territorially. Considering the global nature of the issue, the authors will first focus on international environment, especially international cooperation that could manifest itself as signatures of international agreements or participation in international organizations and institutions. Authors will be also interested in measures against legalization of proceeds of crime and financing terrorism regulated by European Community law and will try to highlight the fundamental rights and obligations of various financial service providers and their clients in connection with absorbing the proceeds of crime and prevention of committing crimes. The last part of the paper tries to describe the evolution and current status of measures against legalization of proceeds of crime and financing terrorism in the Czech Republic and to evaluate recent changes in Czech law, especially in terms of their economic impact and overall effectiveness. |
