Abstract

Since the beginning of the 1990s Poland has been developing a system of counteracting and fighting the money laundering phenomenon. Such actions were started because of the need to protect the Polish legal system and the Polish economy against the threat coming from organised criminal groups wanting to invest in Poland the proceeds derived from illicit activities. Poland is an attractive country to them as far as investing is concerned because of the great demand for capital needed to conduct the necessary transformations in the economic and social system.
