Summary/Abstract: Until recently, in the current criminal law, piracy was recognized as a crime only in relation to an aircraft, but not in relation to a ship. With the AMLCA, the word “ship” was added to Art. 341b of the Criminal Code, and with this amendment, Bulgaria implemented the recommendation of the Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Measures against Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) to the Council of Europe regarding the introduction of all forms of piracy – in this case, the recommendation concerns the introduction of “maritime piracy” as a predicate crime to money laundering in connection with the financing of terrorism.
