Abstract:

We have proposed to design a model based on the fuzzy logic which enables the “quantification” of money laundering (illicit financial flows). We initiated this approach assuming that the tax avoidance, as a criminal predicate for money laundering, is the main source of manifestation of this phenomenon in Romania. Likewise, we deem that a positive association exists between the causal variables of the tax avoidance and the size of money laundering.
