Abstract:
Legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime is an offence of international nature. In view of globalization of the world economic processes, penetration of criminal money into the legal economy of one state adversely affects the financial stability of all countries, which requires them to collaborate in combating this type of criminal activities. This article deals with the regulation of responsibility for laundering proceeds from crime on the international level and on the level of criminal legislation of Russia, including the influence of international statutory instruments on the domestic legislation of the Russian Federation.
