Abstract

Money laundering and legalization of other property acquired by illegal means is a complex and multidimensional criminal behavior that has not only selfish goals in the form of profit making, but also implies a certain involvement in this functioning of various subjects of law, which significantly complicates the process of identifying and investigating the above–mentioned acts. Despite the fact that investigative practice pays close attention to the specifics of the organization and production of investigative actions within the framework of the stated issues, the evolution of criminal schemes far outpaces investigative capabilities. In this context, it is of fundamental importance to increase the effectiveness of investigators in the process of investigating money laundering and legalization of other property acquired illegally. Within the framework of the presented research, the existing practical approaches that have become widespread in investigative practice are analyzed. The relevance of conducting various types of examinations is noted due to the effectiveness and volume of the evidentiary information obtained.
