Abstract

Purpose - The aim of the paper is to present a picture of black labour, illegal immigration and money laundering at a special moment in the history of Poland – the time of Polish accession to the European Union structures. Another aim of the paper is to explain the problem of efficiency of the system counteracting these phenomena. Design/methodology/approach - The paper illustrates the situation in this area by analysis of legislation, statistics, criminal law, criminological and sociological literature, and specialized press relations. Findings - During the last ten years a new criminal law and institutional framework of control of black labour, illegal immigration and money laundering has been created. Even though this system looks adequate in the present situation, there is difficulty in evaluating its real efficiency. A surprising characteristic is a lack of determination of agencies in fighting illegal immigration. The reason could be the permissive attitude of the society. Originality/value - The paper can be useful for comparative research in the spheres of control of black labour, illegal immigration and money laundering – among new members and Poland and “old” members of the European Union.
