Far from being an accessory crime, money laundering functions as a key link between economic crime and systemic corruption, enabling these organizations to infiltrate formal markets, state institutions, and political structures. The research adopts a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach, based on doctrinal, legislative, jurisprudential sources and case studies, highlighting the strategic role of instruments such as the financial system, offshore companies, and crypto-assets. The study demonstrates that illicit capital, once “laundered,” not only enables the economic expansion of criminal groups but also strengthens their capacity to corrupt, intimidate, and capture the State. It concludes that effectively combating organized crime depends on a legal and institutional framework capable of tracking illicit financial flows and breaking the structures that uphold this cycle of power and impunityAcesso AbertoLavagem de dinheiroOrganizações criminosasPoder econômicoCorrupção sistêmicaInfiltração institucionalMoney launderingCriminal organizationsEconomic powerSystemic corruptionInstitutional infiltrationCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
