Abstract

This article aims to analyse a series of problematic hypotheses examined in the German case-law regarding the crime of money laundering. Through this study, we seek to identify a series of cases that have sparked debates in the case-law of German courts, while also presenting our perspective on the correct legal solution. The utility of this study lies in providing “in advance” guidelines for resolving issues related to the application of the money laundering offense that may arise in the judicial practice of the Romanian courts.
