Abstract

Objective: An overview of the basic, practical and theoretical issues related to money laundering, including real estate investment as one of the ways to legalize money from legally sanctioned sources. The aim of the article is also to introduce concepts related to money laundering and issues related to this process that may be the subject of further research.

Methodology/research approach: In the study, the author used a classic analysis of the literature, including traditional and internet sources, and a review of legal regulations.

Results: Money laundering is one of the common, though undesirable, aspects of economic life. Obtaining funds from illegal sources is associated with difficulty of legalizing them, which means that criminal organizations are constantly looking for ways to make it possible. One of these ways is real estate investment. A preliminary overview of the issues related to the discussed topic allows to get to know the essence of the phenomenon and the problems associated with it from the theoretical and practical side, and also indicates the need for further research and its possible direction.

Originality/value: Money laundering is not very often analyzed in the scientific literature, especially in Poland. The analysis of this phenomenon and related concepts can contribute to a more effective fight against it thanks to the understanding of its mechanisms. Like any other economic phenomena, those of a criminal and pathological nature should be investigated, if only because of the selection of institutions and methods to combat them.
