INVESTIGATION OF THE MONEY LAUNDERING ACTIVITIES- ROLE AND NATURE OF THE INDICATIONS IN THE DETECTING THEREOF. EVIDENCES FROM ROMANIA

The theorizing and investigation of the money laundering activities represent a preoccupation that is insufficiently well documented in the Romanian specialized literature and practice. Taking advantage of this fact, the large global crime networks used and still use Romania in their extended processes of turning money originating from organized crime activities into legitimate incomes. This article aims at developing an analysis basis of the money laundering phenomenon and to analyze a case circumscribed to this problematic by means of the knowledge elements determined in the literature and the knowledge base in the field.
