ADMINISTRATIVE LEGAL MECHANISM DIRECTED TOWARDS PREVENTION AND COUNTERACTING LAUNDERING THE PROCEEDS OF CORRUPTION AND PROSPECTS OF ITS ENHANCEMENT

Abstract

Having researched international and domestic legislation and programme documentation as well as the considerations of experts and scholars concerning prevention and counteracting laundering the proceeds of corruption acts by international, foreign and national politically exposed persons, the author assesses the significance of the relevant administrative mechanisms for achievement of the goals of anti-corruption legislation. The system of prevention and counteracting laundering proceeds of corruption, established by the current legislation of Ukraine along with the one reflected in the governmental bill being at the public discussion stage are outlined and assessed. The conclusions are drawn about their shortcomings and negligence to leverage them to the greatest extent so as to increase their efficiency and about possible avenues of their enhancement. It is in particular stated that administrative legal mechanism directed towards prevention and counteracting laundering the proceeds of corruption is an integral part of the system of prevention of corruption and substantially increases its efficiency. The advance of the former could be achieved through the adoption of the draft Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Acts of Ukraine” of 19 January 2018, accompanied with elaboration of an integrated state information and analytical automated system of data regarding income, expenses, property status and associates of politically exposed persons together with expansion of their number as a result of the inclusion of senior officials of local self-government and members of local councils as well as other public officials with wide organisational and administrative authority in areas of high corruption risk and, as a consequence, with high likelihood of use the primary financial monitoring subjects for money laundering by the former.
