Money laundering and public corruption. Interpretation proposal of art. 346.3 of the Cuban Criminal Code

Abstract

This paper analyzes the possible meaning and scope of the aggravation of the crime of money laundering in the Cuban Criminal Code, which operates when money laundering acts are associated with corruption. On the one hand, the political-criminal opportunity of this subtype is evaluated; and in the absence of jurisprudential pronouncements in this regard, proposals for interpretation on the legitimate scope of this typical modality are proposed, which attempt to harmonize the principle of validity with respect for the principles of offensiveness, legality, and non bis in idem.
