40 Uyuşturucu Ticaretinden Sağlanan Kara Paranın Aklanması Suçunda İspat Yükümlülüğü Abstract: In Turkiye, politics, legal circles, media organs and a wide audience are highly interested in the crime of money laundering. This strong interest brings along the questions “Are the instruments in Turkish criminal law sufficient and deterrent in combating money laundering?” and “Is there an effective confiscation system for money laundering in Turkiye?”. When talking about money laundering, the first predicate crime that comes to mind is organized drug trafficking. Internationally, there has long been awareness in the fight against drug trafficking and the proceeds of this crime. With the signed international agreements, some practices that can be implemented in order to combat this crime are presented to the attention of the party states. Some of these practices are reversal or sharing of the burden of proof in money laundering crimes, and expanded confiscation procedures. In this study, a qualitative research method is adopted. The structure, methods and trends of drug trafficking organizations will be explained conceptually. Based on this conceptualization, the difficulties experienced in money laundering criminal investigations will be addressed and the regulations in Turkish law and comparative law will be examined. An article on the reversal of the burden of proof in the offense of laundering of assets obtained from drug trafficking will be proposed. Moreover, based on the necessity to continue the fight against organized drug trafficking, which is a transnational crime, with a holistic perspective, a separate anti-drug law will be proposed. Keywords: Money Laundering, The Reversal of Burden of Proof, Profit Confiscation, Extended Confiscation. GİRİŞ Ülkeler ekonomilerini suçtan elde edilen her türlü gelirden korumak zorundadır.

Dünya üzerinde dolaşan kayıt dışı paranın endüstriyel büyüklükteki payını organize suçlardan elde edilenler oluşturur. Kara para aklamanın gizli doğası gereği tahmin etmek zor olsa da Birleşmiş Milletler Uyuşturucu Suç Ofisi (UNODC) verilerine göre, bir yıl içinde küresel GSMH’nin %2-5’i civarındaki kara para aklanmaktadır. Bunun da yaklaşık 800 milyon ila 2 trilyon Dolar civarında ol-
