Abstract: By analyzing the components of the underground economy matrix, we can say that its financial support is "money laundering" a comprehensive, dynamic phenomenon which lies in the desire of criminals to hide practiced illegal activities behind their sources of income, in order to allow a normal development in society. In this study we tried to highlight some of the features of the phenomenon of money laundering, as well as some preoccupations concerning combating this phenomenon in Romania, member country of the European Union. In this regard, we analyzed the reports of the National Office for Preventing and Combating Money Laundering (N.O.P.C.M.L.) for the period 2006 - 2011, and numerous documents and papers produced over the years in this area, either by the researchers of this phenomenon, either by institutions / national and international bodies empowered for that purpose.
