Abstract

Završni rad pod naslovom "Obuhvat djelovanja Ureda za sprječavanje pranja novca" istražuje ključnu ulogu Ureda za sprječavanje pranja novca u Republici Hrvatskoj. Fokus je na borbi protiv složenih oblika financijskog kriminala, uključujući pranje novca, koji predstavlja ozbiljnu prijetnju financijskom sustavu i društvu u cjelini. Rad se osvrće na povijest pranja novca, njegove faze (polaganje, oplemenjivanje i integracija) te metode koje kriminalci koriste za prikrivanje ilegalno stečenih sredstava, poput offshore računa i fiktivnih tvrtki.

Posebna pažnja posvećena je Uredu za sprječavanje pranja novca, čija je funkcija prikupljanje i analiza informacija o sumnjivim financijskim transakcijama. Ured također surađuje s međunarodnim tijelima kako bi suzbio pranje novca na globalnoj razini. Autorica je analizirala i zakonski okvir koji regulira rad Ureda, uključujući Zakon o sprječavanju pranja novca i Kazneni zakon RH.

Zaključci rada ističu potrebu za stalnim prilagodbama zakonodavnih okvira kako bi se učinkovitije borilo protiv novih oblika financijskog kriminala, uključujući korištenje kriptovaluta. Unatoč izazovima, Ured za sprječavanje pranja novca igra ključnu ulogu u očuvanju financijskog integriteta Hrvatske, čineći ga bitnim alatom u borbi protiv međunarodnog kriminala.

Abstract (english)

The thesis titled "The Scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Office's Actions" explores the vital role of the Anti-Money Laundering Office in the Republic of Croatia. The focus is on combating complex forms of financial crime, particularly money laundering, which poses a serious threat to both the financial system and society as a whole. The work addresses the history of money laundering, its stages (placement, layering, and integration), and the methods used by criminals to conceal illicitly obtained funds, such as offshore accounts and shell companies.

Special attention is given to the Anti-Money Laundering Office, whose function is to collect and analyze information on suspicious financial transactions. The office also collaborates with international bodies to combat money laundering globally. The author analyzes the legal framework regulating the Office's operations, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Croatian Criminal Code.

The conclusions emphasize the need for continuous legislative adjustments to more effectively combat new forms of financial crime, including the use of cryptocurrencies. Despite challenges, the Anti-Money Laundering Office plays a crucial role in safeguarding Croatia's financial integrity, making it an essential tool in the fight against international crime.
