TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF UNLAWFUL USE OF NEW PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE AGE OF GLOBALISATION BY THE EXAMPLE OF MONEY LAUNDERING
Abstract
This article is a discussion of the issue of new payment technologies along with a comprehensive
view of their possible unlawful use. The notion of „new payment technologies”, virtually unknown
until recently, denotes a system o f closed networks, chip cards system, and open payment
systems.
The author puts special emphasis upon problems related to the interconnection and mutual
influence between the following four new phenomena of the 20th century: intensive organized
criminal activity and such crime-fostering phenomena as: abuse of new payment technologies,
ongoing globalisation, and intensified money laundering. The author sets out to present the arising
socio-economic threats connected with the discussed processes and above all to shed light
upon the technical and financial mechanisms connected with them. The author arrives at the following conclusions. Methods of applying new payment technologies,
especially in money laundering, are as complicated as the economic system itself. The criminals’
unlimited imagination and resourcefulness is still ahead of any preventive measures. Additionally,
the constantly transforming globalisation process makes it even more difficult to enumerate all
the possibilities of unlawful use of these technologies.
