A lavagem de dinheiro no âmbito transnacional: uma análise dos institutos já existentes e das estratégias de prevenção e repressão e a viabilidade daqueles que podem ser aplicados no ordenamento jurídico pátrio

Abstract

Initially, the paper demonstrates a change from that individual who used to live alone but went on to live in society, as a way to protect himself: we passed the individualism, which marked the preceding period of modernity, to collectivism, in which the individual found himself in the dispersed 'mass' and inserted into "tribes". Globalization surpasses borders and, along with information and technology, crime overspreads the world not of the common kind, but the economic crime. Dealing with the issue requires that Criminal Law meet its peculiarities. As it renders the domestic law impotent, for another country, with a much more flexible legislation, holds the laundered product, the country from which such a fund derives is compelled to seek measures to curb this criminality. As a result, arise institutes to prevent and repress the money laundering. Within the existing mechanisms, this work analyzed those already internalized, and those that our legal system could engross, so the fight against this crime becomes progressively effective.
