Response to Several Legal Issues since Criminalization of Self-money Laundering
Since the criminalization of money laundering,there has been a qualitative change in the identification and punish-ment methods of self-laundering in China's criminal law,which has brought new challenges to the legal application of money launde-ring.First,self-money laundering crime has broken through the barriers of post-event unpunishable theory,and has independent legal infringement.The identification of the self-money laundering crime should be analyzed by combining its constitutive elements,behavior mode and other factors,so as to clarify the boundary between self-money laundering and money laundering.Second,when the concurrence of self-laundering and predicate crimes exists,there should be combined punishment for several crimes from both leg-islative and judicial perspectives;when the concurrence of self-laundering and crime of stolen property exists,at the judicial level,it is necessary to take into account factors such as the perpetrator's concealment,concealment methods,subjective motives,infringed legal interests,and relevant legal provisions,then comprehensively judge whether it constitutes legal provision concurrence.
