洗钱犯罪若干问题探析

洗钱犯罪主要指为掩饰、隐瞒因毒品犯罪、黑社会性质的组织犯罪、恐怖活动犯罪和走私犯罪的非法所得及其收益性质和来源,利用各种手段使非法收入转换成来源合法的资金和财产的行为。这种犯罪具有多重违法性、跨区域性、形式多样性、专业性等特点,主要通过金融机构、地下钱庄、私营公司、空壳公司、进出口贸易、网络等方式进行,给社会造成了巨大危害,必须予以高度重视井进行严厉打击。     

赃款赃物处理几个问题的探讨

无主赃款赃物,赃物认领争议,以及犯罪嫌疑人或被告人在立案后、案件审结前死亡的,其非法所得如何处理,是司法实践中对赃款赃物处理时的几个特殊问题。无主赃款赃物应该收归国有,上缴国库。对于赃物认领争议,要在确定真正所有权人的基础上将赃物返还给真正的所有权人。对于犯罪嫌疑人或被告人在立案后、案件审结前死亡的,其非法所得应予以追缴,但应完善相关程序。     

论抵押权人的抵押物保险金请求权

现有担保法律规范确认了抵押权对抵押物保险金的物上代位效力,但我国现行的物上代位制度以法定抵押权的法律构成为基点,设定了通过法院财产保全程序实现物上代位的途径,该制度设置缺陷明显;在现代社会条件下的制度设置应以公平基础上实现安全、高效、便捷之价值目标为立法取向,以法定债权质作为物上代位的法律构成,使抵押权人享有对抵押物保险金的直接请求权,从而使物上代位效力对保险金给付义务人也具有约束力,使抵押权物上代位效力的实现能真正得到保障。物权法(草案)中担保物权物上代位制度的设置,并未解决原制度构架中存在的问题和缺陷,建议立法中明确抵押权人对代位物的直接请求权和代位物给付义务人的相关义务,并对担保物权其他相关法律规范加以完善。     

Blurring the line between licit and illicit: transnational corruption networks in Central Asia and beyond

The anti-corruption norm in both scholarship and the policy world has too narrowly focused on the domestic and institutional context of bribe-taking and public corruption. Instead, we argue that corruption in the contemporary global economy requires a multiple set of connected transactions, processes, and relationships that take place within informal transnational networks that blur the line between illegal and legal activities. These networks include multinational companies, elites in host countries, offshore financial vehicles and conduits, middlemen and brokers, and destination financial institutions. We examine how these actors operate in Central Asia, a region that is widely identified as corrupt, yet is rarely understood as embedded in the types of global processes, offshore connections and transnational links specified in our analysis. Examples of offshore centers in tax planning from Central Asia, and partial results from a field experiment based on impersonating high corruption risks from four Central Asian states, provide evidence for how the various actors in transnational financial networks structure their dealings. We then present two brief illustrative cases of how these transnational networks have operated in energy explorations services in Kazakhstan and telecommunications contracts in Uzbekistan. Our findings have theoretical, practical, and normative implications for scholars and practitioners of Central Asian international political economy and other ‘high risk' regions.     

我国洗钱犯罪的特点与防治对策

目前,我国的洗钱现象明显增多,洗钱或者明显带有洗钱性质的案件发案率正在迅速上升。我国洗钱犯罪体现了以下的特点:利用金融机构进行洗钱活动、利用公司进行洗钱活动、国际犯罪集团入境洗钱活动频繁以及国内腐败犯罪分子通过洗钱手段大肆转移赃款。要有效防治我国的洗钱犯罪,必须采取加强洗钱犯罪立法及制度建设完善等一系列对策。     

法律服务人员反洗钱义务研究

随着国际社会采取多种措施打击洗钱犯罪,犯罪分子转而采取了借助专业人员特别是法律服务专业人员的帮助等方法来洗钱。部分国际组织和国家认识到此新的趋势后,迅速做出了反应,赋予了法律服务专业人员以反洗钱义务。这对于我国有着积极的借鉴意义。

Negotiating for Money: Adding a Dose of Reality to Classroom Negotiations

Negotiation and conflict management courses have become increasingly common in business schools around the world. Frequently, these courses employ role plays and simulations to encourage students to try new strategies, tactics, techniques, and behaviors. While these simulations generally are designed to elicit realistic negotiation dynamics, they often lack the full emotional tension inherent in actual negotiations. One possible reason for this reduced tension is that no tangible resources, such as money, are at stake. This article describes an experiment in which MBA students paid a player's fee at the beginning of a negotiation course, and in which each negotiation exercise had an actual dollar value at risk. The article reports some results from this experiment and offers suggestions for instructors who might seek to add a player's fee to their own courses. In general, most students found the experience valuable, as it provided performance benchmarks while focusing their attention more sharply on risks and returns.     

审理存单纠纷案件若干问题探讨

最高人民法院公布的《关于审理存单纠纷案件的若干规定》司法解释施行八年来,全国法院依据该司法解释审结了大量的存单纠纷案件,取得了丰硕的成果,但是在适用该司法解释时各地法院的认识却不尽相同,特别是在存款的所有权归属、存单的法律特征、以存单为表现形式的借贷纠纷案件的认定、公款私存问题等方面的认识仍存在分歧,本文将对上述问题进行分析。     

两岸跨境犯罪新情势、新问题分析

2010年的"1011"与"0810"项目,以及2011年的"0310"项目行动,让人们见识到跨境电话诈骗之猖獗。事实上,打击跨境犯罪的困境,体现在"跨境"的字义上。从犯罪人的角度而言,跨境犯罪的实施,便意味着增加了执法机关追诉的困难并降低了犯罪人被捕的风险。另外,在此信息社会下,两岸跨境犯罪呈现组织化、科技化、隐蔽化、严重化及被害普及化之新趋势,传统跨境治理体系已无法处理日益复杂化的全球跨境犯罪问题。如何避免全球治理缺口,即"管辖权的缺口"、"参与性的缺口"、"诱因性的缺口"及"功能性的缺口",成为当前防治跨境犯罪急需注意的课题。所以,未来两岸为了有效防治跨境犯罪,应以全球化治理的观点来检视两岸跨境犯罪问题,以强调"网络"、"互赖"及"规制"的特质(低政治、高功能),建立一个永续合作的发展模式,共创两岸人民双赢的局面。
