Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of money laundering in cyberspace, with an emphasis on modern methods and tactics used in the digital environment. The aim of the thesis is to identify current approaches to the legalization of proceeds from criminal activity and to characterize offenders and their roles within these processes. The theoretical part defines key concepts, describes the structure and stages of money laundering, and analyzes contemporary methods such as cryptocurrency mixers, decentralized finance (DeFi), chain-hopping, and the misuse of online platforms. It also includes the characterization of offenders and an overview of the legislative framework at the national, European, and international levels. The practical part is based on qualitative research, specifically on the descriptive analysis of case studies. Selected cases of money laundering in cyberspace are examined in order to identify common features, applied methods, and the roles of individual actors. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of current trends in money laundering and highlight the growing importance of digitalization and technological development in this field.
