PREVENÇÃO À LAVAGEM DE DINHEIRO: UMA REVISÃO LITERÁRIA DOS ESTUDOS PUBLICADOS NA JOURNAL OF MONEY LAUNDERING CONTROL

Abstract

This article is a literature review of papers published in the scientific periodical Journal of Money Laundering Control, which plays a crucial role in disseminating relevant topics in the field of financial crimes (Journal of Money Laundering Control, 1997). In this context, it is essential to understand that these offenses have an international impact and cause direct or indirect problems for society, the environment, and, most notably, the economy (Fragoso, 2020). The study aims to contribute to future projects in the field of financial crimes, particularly money laundering, by identifying potential research areas that remain unexplored. The data for the analysis were sourced from the academic publisher Emerald's database, accessed in July 2024, yielding a list of 23 studies in the field between 2018 and 2024. After sample selection, the articles were categorized and subsequently analyzed. Overall, it is understood that technology and education are key means to mitigate AML/CFT risks, as well as stricter legislation. Additionally, a lack of studies on Brazil in this area is evident, as all the evaluated and internationally published research originates from countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
