Money Laundering – Consequential Nature of Suspicious Transactions

This paper highlights the ambiguity of the concept of suspicious transactions and its complex nature. With the basics of the definition of suspicious transactions in the international context as their guidelines, national legislations attempt to accommodate the same content to their local conditions. The results of the chosen legislative will be shown through the statistical analysis of three Western European countries, alongside Croatia. Through the statistical analysis of the reports on suspicious transactions of the banking and non-financial sector, we wish to acknowledge the importance of suspicious transactions in the relationship between competent authorities and financial intelligence units, and their role in the further stages of the treatment of reported transactions where there is a suspicion of money laundering and financing of terrorism. Doing so inevitably raises the question of the level of awareness that the financial and non-financial institutions have reached in relation to the issue under discussion, and the potential for further development.
