Abstract

This book is the result of the contribution of several national and foreign authors, specialists in the topics included in it, and whose contributions revolve around the design and implementation of the criminal policy on the prosecution of assets of illicit origin, with emphasis on the crime of money laundering (spearhead of this policy, which is intended to punish those who conceal or hide assets of criminal origin); this explains the title of the text. The issues addressed are of great importance for society as a whole and legal scholars, due to the increased interest of local authorities and supranational bodies in preventing the enjoyment of such spurious assets, as evidenced by the number of domestic and supranational provisions on the subject.
