Le Blanchiment de Capitaux en Droit Ivoirien (Money Laundering in Ivorian Law)

Money laundering is a mechanism for concealing the illicit origin of funds through a series of operations. This phenomenon, which is global in scope, requires a rigorous response from states. Côte d'Ivoire, a West African country renowned for its geographical attractiveness and abundant natural resources, is no exception to this requirement. It has thus implemented a legal framework designed to combat this form of financial crime. This framework represents significant progress, but remains subject to certain limitations. This thesis proposes to analyze in depth the Ivorian framework for combating money laundering, suggesting solutions inspired by international best practices. It calls for action from all stakeholders: public decision-makers, financial institutions, media, civil society, and international organizations, in order to foster collective mobilization around the proposed solutions, for an effective and efficient fight against this scourge with multiple repercussions.
