Abstract
This text highlights a number of problems and controversies that the crime of money laundering has generated, focusing on the law of the Special Administrative Region of Macau of the PRC. These difficulties stem from its careless wording and include hesitations on the legally protected interest and what essentially money laundering is, its subjective elements, accumulation of offences, level of penalties, among others. The text proposes various ways in which the law could be changed and therefore improved, by changing the basic paradigm and also addressing various topics which have generated controversies in the courts.
