INTERNATIONAL LEGAL REGULATION OF MONEY LAUNDERING CRIMES

Abstract

Article 155 of the Criminal Code of 2002 stated that the crime of "acquiring or selling property obtained by committing a crime" is a crime against property rights, but Article 18.6 of the Chapter of Economic Crimes in the revised Criminal Code considered the actions related to the crime of "money laundering".  

The United Nations General Assembly adopted on November 15, 2000, the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the United Nations Convention against Corruption, defined the nature of the crime, and there was a need to understand the definition and categorization of the crime.
