La problemática del lavado de dinero y sus efectos globales: Una mirada a las iniciativas internacionales y las políticas argentinas

Abstract

Among the unwanted effects of the financial globalization we find the appearance of different ways to carry out money laundering beyond the borders of the states where illegal activities are developed. The prevention and repression of money laundering appears then as something essential, since this crime represents a complex and dynamic problem for the world community, and has negative consequences for the economy, the government and the social welfare of nations. Throughout this work the main issues related to the process of money laundering are discussed in general and in relation to the definition, methods and effects, as well as Argentine´s participation in the treatment of international and regional issues and details of the case at national level, to finally express some conclusions in order to provide useful elements for reflection on this problematic.
