Summary/Abstract: The effective prevention and combat of money laundering constitute a consistent priority for the world’s states, an activity based both on the adoption of international or regional standards and the implementation of their own national preventive systems. Literally, the international and European concern aims to identify solutions to enhance transborder cooperation regarding the suppression of money laundering. In the context of this research, through the comparative method of studying law, the legislation of Romania and the existing legislation of the Republic of Moldova in the field of money laundering prevention were analysed. Besides the cognitive understanding of the phenomenon, such a study provides the opportunity for the Republic of Moldova to adopt positive experiences from Romania’s reference legislation, which is based on rich European experience and best practices in the field of preventing this transnational phenomenon.
