name: Die Möglichkeit der Risikominimierung von Geldwäsche und Terrorismusfinanzierung durch die verpflichtende Einführung einer einheitlichen Bargeldobergrenze im Nichtfinanzsektor innerhalb der Europäischen Union
description: Within this research project, the restriction of whether cash transactions within the non-financial sector through the introduction of mandatory cash ceilings can contribute to minimizing the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing within the European Union was investigated. At the time this dissertation was written, no valid statements were available as to whether and in what form the restriction of cash transactions through cash ceilings can represent suitable money laundering prevention measures. This uncertainty is also reflected in the different designs of the cash ceilings of the EU Member States, which although an effective fight against money laundering requires a basic uniform approach, these proceed inconsistently. A literature analysis carried out in this context with regard to the national and international state of research, has shown the existence of a research gap and the high relevance of the topic for practice. In order to close this research gap, a survey was first conducted based on an extensive theoretical analysis of the relevant topic areas and the theoretical questions generated by this, in which employees mainly from the compliance or financial crime departments of credit institutions from various countries took part. In order to give the research a qualitative depth and at the same time minimize the risk of overlooking important nuances, expert interviews were carried out in the next step of the research project, based on the knowledge gained so far. Experts from law enforcement agencies, politicians who have points of contact with the topic of money laundering as well as proven money laundering experts from the field were contacted for the series of interviews. Consequently, this dissertation has first shown that even in a subject area of money laundering and terrorist financing and its prevention, which is subject to an improbable dynamic of change, intensive scientific research should be carried out before implementing money laun…
