Abstract

The article analyzes doctrinal approaches to defining the legal content of the legalization of criminal proceeds in the context of the development of financial and economic relations. The methodological limitations of process-based and result-oriented concepts, which fail to reveal the institutional nature of this phenomenon, are substantiated. On the basis of an intersectoral analysis of criminal-law, financial-law, and administrative-law mechanisms, a public-law understanding of legalization is proposed as a process of transforming the legal regime of property of criminal origin and integrating it into lawful economic circulation.
