Sláma, Jáchym ; Šelleng, Dalibor (advisor) ; Dvořák, Marek (referee)
Directive 2014/42/EU obliges the Member States of the European Union to introduce the extended confiscation of proceeds of crime method into their legal systems. The Czech Republic has transposed this method into the protective measure of forfeiture (confiscation) of a portion of assets under Section 102a of Act No. 40/2009 Coll., the Criminal Code, and related provisions.

On a theoretical level, the thesis aims to define the method of extended confiscation, its place in the asset recovery process, and in the system of confiscation methods whose reflections can be seen in confiscation instruments across European legal systems. On a practical level, the aim of the thesis is to provide a detailed interpretation of the forfeiture of a portion of assets, an instrument that represents the extended confiscation method in the Czech legal system.

Babjaková, Radka ; Hořák, Jaromír (advisor) ; Gřivna, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of money laundering in terms of both criminal and criminological perspective. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the issue of money laundering and to raise questions related to de lege lata discussions and de lege ferenda proposals, to formulate my opinion and to make recommendation for legislative changes. The first part (Chapters 1, 2 and 3) contains the definition of this term and discusses methods in which money laundering occurs. In addition to well-known methods, it is dedicated to new methods focusing on the use of virtual currencies and online computer games. The question of organised crime, which is very close to money laundering, is analysed too. The second part (Chapters 4 and 5) describes international regulation, legislation of the European Union and measures against legitimisation of proceeds of crime in Czech legislation. It is focused on the most important conventions and directives related to money laundering. This part also explains Act No. 253/2008 Coll., on selected measures against legitimisation of proceeds of crime and financing of terrorism, and activities of Financial Analytical Unit. The third part (Chapters 6 and 7) examines relevant Czech legislation, especially issues of money laundering using legal entities, their criminal liability...
