 MONEY LAUNDERING INTERNATIONALLY Abstract: Being an organized crime activity, money laundering has become a major issue in recent decades. From the point of view of the general consideration of the notion of "money laundering", the context of this crime as a whole is to legalize an illegal income. Money laundering is and will remain a complex and dynamic phenomenon of great diversity, both in the public and private spheres, manifesting itself both actively and passively, being also a phenomenon unrecognizable to ordinary people. Regarding the content of the offense, it is presumed that it is a crime without victim, being considered without "emotional implications" in the offense category. The word best describing this type of offense is "discretion" because this kind of crime is one of the most difficult to identify, and one of the difficulties encountered by the investigators. Money laundering includes various methods and procedures that make it possible to obtain money or other assets from the illegal activity and conceal by disguising their origin or by giving a seemingly legal aspect of their source. Thus, it becomes one of the most widespread types of economic fraud, both nationally and internationallyOana Chicos ()
