The paper aims to analyze the complex relationship between the crime of money laundering and cryptocurrencies. Technological development has heavily influenced contemporary criminal law, and in this perspective, the offence of money laundering represents one of the paradigmatic examples thanks, and above all, to the influence of cryptocurrencies. The first chapter analyses the offence of money laundering, highlighting its fundamental features and the anomalies that characterise it, with particular regard to the different stages of the conduct and its most problematic aspects. Subsequently, in the second chapter, the universe of cryptocurrencies is explored by illustrating the complex technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In the middle chapter, the influence of cryptocurrencies in the crime of money laundering is analyzed. The common thread is represented by anonymity and the disruptive potential this has in the criminal case under consideration. In the fourth and final chapter of this dissertation, the phenomenon of money laundering within entities is addressed from the perspective of the criminal liability of legal persons under Legislative Decree 231/2001.
L’elaborato si propone di analizzare il complesso rapporto che intercorre tra il delitto riciclaggio e le criptovalute. Lo sviluppo tecnologico ha influito pesantemente sul diritto penale contemporaneo, in quest’ ottica, il reato di riciclaggio rappresenta uno degli esempi paradigmatici grazie, e soprattutto, all’influsso delle criptovalute. Nel primo capitolo si analizza la fattispecie di riciclaggio andando a evidenziare i suoi caratteri fondamentali e le anomalie che la caratterizzano con particolare riguardo alle diverse fasi della condotta e ai suoi aspetti più problematici. Successivamente nel secondo capitolo viene approfondito l’universo delle criptomonete attraverso l’illustrazione della complessa tecnologia alla base del bitcoin e delle altre criptovalute. Nel capitolo centrale viene analizzata l’influenza delle criptovalute nel reato di riciclaggio. Il filo conduttore è rappresentato dall’anonimato e dalle potenzialità dirompenti che questo ha nella fattispecie criminosa presa in esame. Nel quarto e ultimo capitolo di questa dissertazione si affronta il fenomeno del riciclaggio all’interno degli enti nell’ottica della responsabilità penale delle persone giuridiche ex D.lgs. 231/2001.

Abstract
The paper aims to analyze the complex relationship between the crime of money laundering and cryptocurrencies. Technological development has heavily influenced contemporary criminal law, and in this perspective, the offence of money laundering represents one of the paradigmatic examples thanks, and above all, to the influence of cryptocurrencies. The first chapter analyses the offence of money laundering, highlighting its fundamental features and the anomalies that characterise it, with particular regard to the different stages of the conduct and its most problematic aspects. Subsequently, in the second chapter, the universe of cryptocurrencies is explored by illustrating the complex technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In the middle chapter, the influence of cryptocurrencies in the crime of money laundering is analyzed. The common thread is represented by anonymity and the disruptive potential this has in the criminal case under consideration. In the fourth and final chapter of this dissertation, the phenomenon of money laundering within entities is addressed from the perspective of the criminal liability of legal persons under Legislative Decree 231/2001.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
