Abstract:
This article focuses on the qualification of the legalization of funds acquired unlawfully through the utilization of digital currency, a prevalent occurrence in contemporary times. The crime of legalization is a highly concealed one, which is why criminal groups have found money laundering to be an effective method. With respect to this issue, it is essential for the legislator to carefully examine multiple regulatory legal provisions to bolster the effectiveness of combating the legalization (laundering) of income through digital currencies. Within the framework of the article, the author examines the inconsistency of the criminal legislation of Russia, which establishes responsibility for the crime in question, and provides general recommendations on countering this act.
