Directive 2015/849 - improvements and effectiveness of the fight against the legalization of illegally received funds and terrorist financing

Summary/Abstract: Due to the current political and religious discrepancies, money laundering and terrorism financing has become the main discussion topic among the international organizations. Illegal cash flows and terrorist financing affect not only our daily file, but also the integrity, stability and economic development of states. In order to fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, more coordinated and efficient steps should be taken. The 4th Money Laundering Directive was adopted on 20 May 2015 and introduced clearer, more substantive procedural provisions in order to tackle the issue concerned. The Directive aims to introduce minimum measures to address this issue. The author of the present paper discusses whether the adopted measures will be effective in the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing and possible problems arising due to the implementation of the said Directive into national legislations.
