However, this is not enough, so these persons try to legalize such acquired money and other property gain, i.e. to put them in legal traffic. On the other side, perpetrators of such crimes have a need to cover real source of such money or benefit.

Accordingly, international law, as well as criminal law of Bosnia and Herzegovina, foresee criminal responsibility for money laundry as criminal offense threatened by severe punishments.
