Among the various threats of economic security the research is conducted on a particular one – the legalization of income acquired through criminal activity and funding of terrorism. The authors analyze certain international legal aspects of funding of terrorism and the newest laws of the Russian legislation that exert the most significant influence upon the development of the system of countermeasures against the legalization (laundering) of income acquired through illegal means and funding of terrorism.
