The aim of the research is to develop a scientific and methodical approach, which consists in the timely identification of systemic risks connected with the legalization of the proceeds of crime, their formalization, assessing and monitoring in order to prevent these transactions occurrence. The article analyzes the state of the Ukrainian economy in terms of its level of shadow economy, the corruption index, and the amount of illegal withdrawal of funds from the country. The key ways and methods of money laundering in Ukraine are defined. The components of the process of illegal withdrawal of funds abroad have been studied as well as key drivers and methods of shadow economy have been identified. The theoretical foundations of the development of the of formalization and assessment model of systemic risks of hiding proceeds are highlighted. A model for assessment of the risk occurrence probability of the legalization of proceeds of crime is developed. The risk occurrence probability of the legalization of proceeds with the participation of Ukraine and partner countries was assessed.

The article deals with the study of the ability of cash to be a multifunctional instrument of economic policy, propaganda and legalization of proceeds of crime. Based on the cash analysis of the Republic of Belarus, Georgia and Ukraine, the most common signs and images that increase the confidence of the population and form convictions about the stability of the currency have been identified. Cash has been found to be an instrument for promoting national history and achievements of the country for a long time, considerable territory and one-sided influence. The efficiency of using cash to reliably convey information and maximize its absorption by the population has been proved. The reasons, features and consequences of using cash as a tool for money laundering were investigated. The effect of the volume of cash in circulation on the level of the shadow economy on the example of different countries has been estimated. In the article, the authors argue that money is a useful tool for propaganda. They are a significant source of information about a particular country. Money can be used by the authorities of a particular country to create the necessary political narratives. This tool has a long period of influence, which is purposeful. The authors note that it is necessary to take into account inflation in the country in order to understand how long the population will use a particular denomination of money. The authors concluded that there is a different relationship between the level of shadowing of the economy and indicators of the state of money circulation. For most indicators, this relationship was linear. Calculations showed the absence of an asymmetric relationship between the indicators. For some countries (Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Switzerland, Japan), the calculations showed a nonlinear relationship between the level of shadowing of the economy and the functioning of the domestic foreign exchange market.

The article's relevance is because the Judicial Protection Service is a relatively new institution, the creation of which was completed last year. However, analogs of such a service operate successfully in different countries (in particular, the United States, Canada). Effective maintenance of law and order during the court hearing is one of the main elements of the reform processes of the judicial system of Ukraine, which must directly meet European standards. Because of this, the issue of research of this institution in Ukraine and the possibility of implementing best practices in the functioning of its counterparts in foreign countries is relevant. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics of the judicial protection service and its analogs in different countries. The object of the study is the public relations that arise in the field of security and independence of the judiciary. The subject of the study is the principles of functioning of the judicial protection service and its analogs. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general and unique methods of cognition, in particular: dialectical, historical, descriptive, methodology of scientific analysis, and generalization—comparative law, structural-functional and analytical. Analyzing the experience of foreign countries in organizing the activities of similar institutions of the Judicial Protection Service, it was emphasized the high level of trust of judges in such judicial protection services and the close cooperation of the latter with law enforcement agencies. The authors of the article also emphasize that the formation and operation of institutions as the Judicial Protection Service directly depend on financial support, organizational issues, and personnel policy.
