Counteracting money laundering in Slovakia in light of certain Polish legal solutions

Zygmunt Kukuła

Abstract

The publication presents regulations in Slovakian law which aim to counteract the crime of money laundering. The applicable legislation came about as a result of the implementation of international acts of law which oblige signatories to ensure effective legal solutions in this regard in domestic law. The regulations of the Slovakian Act on Prevention of Legalization of Proceeds of Criminal Activity and Terrorist Financing as well as the criminal code are discussed. Basic terminology used in the act is presented, as are the organization and competencies of agencies responsible for counteracting such occurrences. Since such crimes are often carried out with the intermediation of the banking system, key issues in this respect have also been touched upon. The subject of additional chapters are criminal and administrative consequences in the event of failure to observe the relevant requirements. A comparative analysis has also been carried out in the area of Polish and Slovakian regulations in order to demonstrate similarities and differences pertaining to particular issues. It is emphasized that money laundering is of international scope and in order to cooperate effectively, a knowledge of its fundamental issues in two neighboring countries is desirable.
