@Lilian: 1. 'Obrót' (Latin: commercium), which means 'circulation', is a core concept of civil law. It basically means transactions. You could also loosely identify it with the flow of the market. 2. Are you sure you understand the difference between crime, offence etc., or rather, all the names used by the legal system to denote particular wrongs set apart for punishment? 3. Not everything which you can do with money and which is criminal involves money laundering. The list of money-related crimes is longer than money laundering alone. 4. There's nothing wrong with 'offence against'. There are offences against the liberty of person, against family, against property, against the public order and whatever else. This is a time-honoured phrase, it's not odd in any way. 5. What you may also be failing to see here is that 'offences against this and that' is a whole category of crimes. It's not the statutory definition of a single crime, which corresponds with a unique classification done by the police, prosecutor and court in criminal proceedings. It's an entire category of crimes that comprises a lot of individually defined crimes. Just look into the Polish Criminal Code for guidance. |
