Der risikoorientierte Ansatz zur Geldwäscheprävention und seine Folgen : Geldwäschegesetz und Kreditwesengesetz im Lichte von Rechtsdogmatik und Rechtsökonomie

»The Risk-Based Approach to Money Laundering Prevention and its Consequences. Money Laundering Act and Banking Act in the Light of Legal Doctrine and Economic Analysis of Law«This piece of work seeks to analyse as to whether the normative structure of the German Money Laundering Act and the Banking Act, now technically being flanked by a risk-based approach, possesses the potential to strengthen the effectiveness of money laundering prevention significantly. While conducting comprehensive research from a doctrinal perspective, the thesis does additionally discuss all major findings with particular regard to the methodology of the economic analysis of law. The author transfers the abstract legal discussion on rules vs. standards to the specific issue at hand. Furthermore, he critically reflects the legal risks and constitutional problems in terms of criminal investigations that involve, to some extent, private institutions as well.
