Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, criminal offences against property are prevalent in the structure of both national and international criminality. The perpetrators of these criminal offences act either as individuals or as groups or organizations (associations), but always with the intention to obtain illegal financial benefit. Moreover, they often attempt to legalize or put into legal circulation the money and other financial gains acquired in such manner and, hence, attain legal grounds for their possession and hide the genuine source of their illegal incomes. Individual states and the entire international community recognized the hazard of these criminal activities, the purpose of which is money laundering and concealing financial gain obtained through the commission of criminal offences. Therefore, international and national legislative bodies prescribe criminal liability for money laundering. They incriminate money laundering as a criminal offence and impose strict punishments for it, with the aim to prevent and suppress such dangerous activities.
