Riciclaggio: Repressione, Prevenzione, Prospettive di riforma.

The present study departs from the analysis of the money laundering’s phenomenological dimension (chap. I), and further develops into a bi-dimensional study of the concept in the Italian Criminal law; such double perspective looks on the one hand at the crime as regulated under art. 648 bis of the Italian Criminal Code (chap. II), and then at the violations of the italian anti-money laundering system of rules as regulated under art. 55 of d.lgs. 231/2007 (chap. III). The forth chapter deals with the comparison between the Italian legal system and the other EU money laundering crimes; in particular, the analisys looks at the Spanish preventive and repressive system as regards the blanqueo de capitales. Pursuant to our comparative analysis, we try to suggest possible European scenarios of integrated criminal policy agaist money laundering (chap V).
