Money Laudering has become a rampant crime in Malaysia. This due to the fact that criminal activities have increased significantly in recent years. Countries around the globe have established their own regime of anti money laudering laws to curb and prevent this crime. The initial objective of such law is to diminish any opportunities to use their ill gotten funds, particularly in financing other organized crimes. However, currently there are concerns on whether this initial objective has already been met. This study analyzes cases prosecuted under Anti Money laundering, Anti Terrorist Financing and Proceeds from Unlawful Activities (AMLATFPUAA) 2001 and reports on the outcome of these cases. This study uses content analysis method to analyze 10 cases and the cases respective predicate offences. For the sentence, the courts are observed to incline in giving a jail sentence and a penalty, in which for most cases the penalty is equivalent to the value of illegal money charged in the cases.ABSTRAKPengubahan wang haram merupakan satu jenayah yang semakin berleluasa di Malaysia. Ini berlaku disebabkan oleh peningkatan dalam aktiviti jenayah pada masa ini. Banyak negara di dunia telah membentuk satu rejim undang-undang berhubung pengubahan wang haram bagi menyekat dan membendung jenayah ini. Matlamat asal usaha untuk menyekat aktiviti wang haram adalah untuk menutup peluang penjenayah untuk menggunakan hasil jenayah mereka, terutamanya untuk membiaya jenayah terancang yang lain. Walau bagaimanapun, buat masa ini terdapat persoalan sama ada matlamat asal akta ini akan tercapai ataupun tidak. Kajian ini bertujuan menganalisa kes-kes yang telah didakwa di bawah Akta Pencegahan Pengubahan Wang Haram, Pencegahan Pembiayaan Keganasan dan Hasil daripada Aktiviti Haram (AMLATFPUAA) 2001 dan melihat bagaimana penyelesaian kes-kes ini di mahkamah Malaysia. Menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan, kajian ini telah meneliti keputusan mahkamah bagi 15 kes di bawah AMLATFPUAA dan mendapati terdapat beberapa jenayah predikat yang telah dikenalpasti. Dari aspek hukuman, mahkamah didapati lebih cenderung memberi hukuman penjara dan denda yang mana denda yang dikenakan bagi hampir keseluruhan kes adalah bersamaan jumlah wang haram yang terlibat dalam kes tersebut.Downloads
