The aim of this thesis is the analysis of the fight against money laundering in terms of financial law and from institutional point of view, evaluation of its success and the formulation of my own opinions on the possible improvement of the system components. The first part of thesis deals with the term of money laundering, its phases and characteristics and history. The second part analyses the legislation at international, EU and national level. Attention is paid to the AML Directives and to the AML Act. Main obligations prescribed by Directives and AML Act to obliged persons are identification obligation, due diligence, preservation of information, reporting of suspicious transactions, postponement of client's order, creation of internal policies and staff training. Then follows characterization of individual authorities and institutions involved in combating money laundering....

Kubík, Tomáš ; Kohajda, Michael (advisor) ; Boháč, Radim (referee)
The main objective of this work 'Legal and institutional security of the financial system against money laundering' is to highlight the growing phenomenon of money laundering.

If the above conditions are not met, then it will hardly be able to face this phenomenon.
