The aim of this paper is to explore the role of the international regulatory and policy framework for the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing. Money laundering is an international phenomenon that often accompanies other forms of organized crime, taking on ever-widening proportions and posing a threat to the stability and integrity of the entire financial system. Under the guise of apparent legality, it infiltrates all pores of modern society, from corruption of public officials to tax evasion to the use of offshore jurisdictions that do not ask unnecessary questions and ensure an impenetrable veil of protection of criminals' private data under the guise of banking secrecy. Therefore, it can be said that this criminal activity, although an accompanying crime, is one of the most dangerous crimes of modern society, and related to terrorist financing poses an even greater danger because in addition to endangering global financial integrity, it threatens fundamental human freedoms, violates security and peace, all with the aim of promoting ideological utopias and achieving political goals. Therefore, the cooperation of regulatory organizations for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing at the national, European and international levels is not sufficient in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, but must be developed on an ongoing basis to be ready to respond to modern challenges and trends in the global environment.
