Abstract This article analyzes the relationship between corruption offenses and money laundering with reference to the Spanish Penal Code. These two criminal categories lack a certain definition, as there is no such univocal concept of “political corruption” and “money laundering.” The reasons for the denaturation of these criminal figures will be addressed. Then, the paper will expose how these criminal figures relate to each other. We argue that a real concurrence between both figures is possible, although it may lead, in certain cases, to double incrimination and its consequent punitive excess. Therefore, we will propose some criteria for a restrictive interpretation of “money laundering” to avoid confusion with other legal figures such as “confiscation.” The paper will end with reference to the Spanish Criminal Code’s regulation on “confiscation” and a brief review of the main critics.

This research was conducted to investigate the obstacles to asset recovery for the proceeds of money laundering deposited in offshore bank accounts, as mandated in Law Number 8 of 2010. The issues raised in this study are about the relationship between corruption and money laundering. As well as law enforcement in the monetary sector in Indonesia through the criminal approach and Asset Recovery in the Money Laundering case. Based on the research, it was found that the recovery of assets resulting from money laundering that was stored abroad experienced obstacles due to differences in legal concepts (money laundering and assets proceeds from money laundering). The research was conducted through juridical normative methods and data collection. It is concluded that the Asset Recovery approach is more of a deterrent effect for the perpetrators of corruption than punishment. To facilitate the withdrawal of money laundering funds abroad, a bilateral cooperation agreement between the Indonesian and recipient countries of money laundering assets is necessary.

В статье предпринята попытка теоретического анализа и изучения научной литературы по организации и становлению воспитательной работы с осужденными в местах лишения свободы, продемонстрирована взаимосвязь между политико-воспитательной работой, ресоциализацией и исправлением осужденных в пенитенциарных учреждениях. Проведенное исследование позволяет предполагать, что воспитательная работа является основополагающим средством исправления различных категорий осужденных (регламентировано ст. 9 УИК РФ). На этой основе критерием исправления будет становиться устойчивое правопослушное поведение человека. В связи с этим возникает необходимость использования психолого-педагогической программы по перестройке и самооценке осужденных, позволяющей формировать их готовность к самореализации, когда осознание совершенных преступлений становится внутренне неприемлемым. Авторами отмечается, что, самоисправление человека зависит от ряда направлений воспитательной работы: нравственного, правового, физического воспитания, получения основного общего образования, получения профессии. Очевидно, что для закрепления положительного результата процесс ресоциализации в пенитенциарных учреждениях должен проводиться сотрудниками всех отделов и служб на основе комплексных программ, разработанных с учетом специфики и возраста осужденных.The article attempts a theoretical analysis and study of scientific literature on the organization and formation of educational work with convicts in prisons, demonstrates the relationship between «political and educational work», re-socialization and correction of convicts in prisons. The study suggests that educational work is a fundamental means of correcting various categories of convicts (regulated by article 9 of the criminal code). Based on this criterion fixes will become sustainable human behavior, demonstrating a conscious rejection of the violation of legal norms with the aim of securing sustainable patterns of law-abiding behavior. There is a need to use the psychological and pedagogical Program for restructuring and self-assessment of convicts, which allows to form on this basis their readiness for self-realization, when the awareness of the crimes committed becomes internally unacceptable. In this regard, the self-correction of a person depends on a number of areas, namely, moral, legal, physical education, basic General education, profession, forming the basis of educational work. It is obvious that in order to consolidate a positive result in penitentiary institutions, the activities of all departments and services should be carried out a process of re-socialization on the basis of comprehensive Programs developed taking into account the specifics and different ages of convicts.

Abstract Enacted to regulate the incubus of organized crime, India’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act has quickly degenerated into interpretative chaos, with conflicting judicial opinions straining its otherwise sound provisions. Instead of chastening statutory mercuriality, close to eleven amendments to the Act have only fuelled incertitude further. The most damaging feature of the PMLA’s disarray is that the interpretive conflict eclipses the most basic punitive machinery of the Act. Part 2 of the article clarifies the relationship between the offence of money laundering and its predicate offences in the realm of how the latter ought to influence property attachment and prosecution proceedings for the former. Part 3 dissects the complication of Indian Criminal Procedure’s applicability to investigations under the PMLA and proposes an inventive two-step enquiry to determine the extent of said applicability in view of the provisions of both statutes. Part 4 chronicles the peculiar acquiescence of some Indian courts in not insisting upon furnishing written grounds of arrest to a detenu and explains why that jurisprudential course deserves to be abandoned. Lastly, Part 5 addresses the topical disputation of the effect of recent amendments on the potential revival of sui generis bail conditions under the PMLA that had previously been declared unconstitutional. The article presents a syncretism of recommended interpretative paths that the judiciary must take to remedy the recognized flaws.

<p>The paper discusses the concept of a terrorist threat in the light of Article 115 § 20 of the Polish Criminal Code. The author stresses the relationship between this term and the punishable threat described in the special part of the Criminal Code. The conducted analysis leads to the conclusion that the terrorist threat must be treated as a special type of the punishable threat and, as a result, many real terrorist threats may not meet the criteria of a forbidden act, e.g. because of the lack of an individualised victim. As a result, there appear serious doubts as to whether Polish criminal law meets the requirements of EU law referring to the criminalisation of terrorist threats and, therefore, the introduction of a new type of offence of a terrorist threat and some changes in Article 115 § 20 and Article 115 § 12 of the Criminal Code have been proposed.</p>

In this present time, the debate about abortion in Indonesia is increasingly crowded. Abortion is also carried out by women - victims of rape to reduce the burden they suffered. The regulation on abortion in Indonesia has been regulated in the statutory regulations, namely the Criminal Code, especially in Article 346, Article 347, Article 348, and Article 349. In the RKUHP (Draft of Criminal Code), abortion regulation is regulated in two chapters namely, Chapter XIV Article 501 and Chapter XIX Articles 589, 590, 591, 592. In addition, the government has also issued several regulations governing abortion such as Government Regulation No. 61 of 2014 concerning Reproductive Health and also Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning health. However, the various regulations that exist between the Criminal Code, RKUHP, PP and the Act actually contradict to each other. There is no synchronization between the regulations regarding abortion by women rape victims. The KUHP and RKUHP clearly do not allow abortion in Indonesia and do not legalize it without any exception, including abortion carried out by women victims of rape. Whereas in Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning health, abortion can be carried out on an indication of medical emergencies and pregnancy due to rape that causes psychological trauma, so abortionists cannot be prosecuted as criminal.

Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana atau biasa disebut dengan KUHP adalah warisan kolonial Belanda yang diberlakukan di Indonesia melalui asas konkordasi dan disahkan melalui UU Nomor 1 Tahun 1946 serta diberlakukan untuk umum melalui UU Nomor 73 Tahun 1958.

Karena itu, pembaruan KUHP secara universal juga perlu dilaksanakan agar kontras dengan bangsa Indonesia.
