o:2021 Money laundering – the offense against the economy and a contemporary global phenomenon Pranje novca – krivično delo protiv privrede i savremeni globalni fenomen en sr ABSTRACT: Money laundering as a form of economic crime is present in both national and international conditions. Despite a large number of definitions, we can say that money laundering refers to a circulation of illegally gained profits, during a shorter or longer period of time, in order to, in a cycle of transformation, at last gain ostensibly legitimate profits. The subject of analysis in this paper were the results of the judicial authorities in Serbia in criminal proceedings against adult perpetrators of crimes against economy. The representation of money laundering in Serbia is analyzed through its relationship with the number of adults and issued convictions for the group of criminal offenses against economy during the period from 2012 to 2015, and then, for all crimes on the territory of Republic of Serbia in that period of time. The given results indicate a very modest participation of this crime in the total crime in the country. This points out primarily two things. Namely, money laundering belongs to the group of transnational crime, and it is difficult to be detected and proved in subsequent proceedings. Furthermore, money laundering is among the crimes where there is a great „dark number“, and there are many activities in this sphere beyond the reach of the justice system and official statistics. REZIME: Pranje novca kao oblik privednog kriminaliteta prisutan je u nacionlnim i međunarodnim razmerama. Bez obzira na veliki broj definicija, može se reći da se pranje novca sastoji u kretanju ilegalno stečenih sredstava, koje traje duže ili kraće, da bi se kroz ciklus transformacije na kraju dobila prividno legalna stečena sredstva. Predmet analize u radu bili su rezultati rada pravosudnih organa u Srbiji u krivičnim postupcima prema punoletnim učiniocima za krivična dela protiv privrede. Zastupljenost pranja novca u Srbiji analizirana je kroz odnos sa brojem prijavljenih punoletnih lica i donetih osuđujućih presuda za celu grupu krivičnih dela protiv privrede u periodu od 2012 do 2015. godine, a potom i za sva krivična dela na prostoru Republike Srbije u pomenutom periodu. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na veoma skromno učešće ovog krivičnog dela u ukupnom kriminalitetu na nivou cele zemlje. Ovo ukazuje na prevashodno dve stvari. Naime, pranje novca spada u grupu transnacionalnog kriminaliteta, te se vrlo teško otkriva i dokazuje u kasnijem postupku. Dalje, pranje novca spada u grupu krivičnih dela kod kojih je izražena velika tamna brojka, te su mnoge aktivnosti iz ove sfere van domašaja pravosudnog sistema i zvaničnih statističkih podataka.
