Money Laundering
Polakovič, Martin ; Zetek, Pavel (advisor)
Money laundering is a process, by which criminal organizations try to declare the origin of their income as legal. The process of laundering could be very sophisticated, but according to the fact that money come from illegal activities, process itself is illegal as well. I try to explain, outline and mention possible indicators and signs of such process. I analyze most frequent and common methods and describe possible ways of detection and restrictions. This problem appeared in the last century and was related to globalization, lessening of rules in international trading and new cheaper and faster ways of transportation. Money laundering is a "living" process, that still adapts to new situations and technologies.
