A problemática do ilícito precedente no crime de branqueamento de capitais

Abstract

The increasing openness of markets resulting from globalization has caused money laundering to become entrenched in economic circuits, being capable of corrupting the socioeconomic fabric to the point of significantly transmuting the harmony of society's functioning. This thesis addresses the relationship that the preceding crime establishes with the crime of money laundering and the problems that may arise in this relationship from an evolutionary perspective, having special relevance for our analysis article 358-A of the Penal Code. The main objective is to understand if there is a need for the existence of a conviction for the previous offense for the crime of laundering to be punishable. Since this is a complex crime, to better understand its dynamic with the crime that precedes it, as well as its autonomy from the latter, several other issues related to the predicate crime and laundering itself were addressed.
