Type: article
Abstract: This article explores the complexity of interrogation tactics in the investigation of the crime of money laundering, highlighting the central role of this procedural action in reconstructing sophisticated and concealed criminal mechanisms. The study analyzes the frequency and effectiveness of interrogations in criminal cases, addressing separately the interrogation of suspects/accused persons, witnesses, experts, and other participants depending on their procedural status, level of involvement, and type of information held.The paper emphasizes the importance of adapting the interrogation tactic according to the nature of the subjects' social and professional relationships, their degree of cooperation, and the documentary nature of the evidentiary material. It discusses methods for fostering cooperation, managing the influence of the defense counsel, the particularities of confrontation in adversarial contexts, and the use of psychological strategies to elicit the truth. The conclusion underscores that, in the context of economic and financial crimes, interrogation is not merely a formal instrument, but a key investigative method capable of clarifying the offender’s intent, the flow of illicit funds, and the connections among participants.
