Abstract
The phenomenon of money laundering is a relevant and live topic, which by far exceeds national borders and it is safe to say, that it is a global problem. Enourmous profits from criminal activities may have a destabilizing effect on the economy, reduce confidence in the financial sector and promote the growth of corruption.The international community is aware of the risk involved, especialy the conection between money laudering and terrorism, and therefore tries to legally regulate this area.
The regulation of this area aims to impede the financing of terrorist organizations and the legalization of profits from criminal activities.
