Summary/Abstract: The beginning of the 21st century was marked by the internationalization and globalization of the phenomenon of organized crime, becoming true trusts and unions of organized crime. They exert their influence, more and more, both on the economic and social processes and on the political sphere, pursuing two fundamental goals: profit and power. But the collection of the resulting criminal product (money) but also the ways of their transfer, placement and investment in the underground economy, is a major concern for “white-collar criminals,” the aim being to launder “dirty” money from such categories of criminal offenses. For these reasons, it is necessary to adopt concerted measures at regional and global level, leading to the reduction and counteracting of economic and financial macro-crime in general and the phenomenon of money laundering, in particular.
