Alin. (4) art. 243 “Money laundering” of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova enshrines the hypothesis of extraterritoriality of committing the main / predicate offense which is the premise of committing one of the offenses provided in art. 243 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova: “Illegal actions shall also be acts committed outside the territory of the country provided that such acts include the constitutive elements of an offense in the state where they were committed and may be the constitutive elements of an offense committed in the territory of the Republic of Moldova”. As a distinct offense or as part of an offense (as a normative modality or as a factual modality), the act generating criminal property, provided by the criminal law of a foreign state, must be found in one of the incriminating provisions of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova. Otherwise, if the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova does not know in any form such an act, the basis for applying art. 243 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova is missing
