This article is interested in discussing international cooperation in combating money and capital laundering crimes. Using a qualitative research, based on a bibliographic examination, the trends and challenges for active cooperation in Brazil are presented, comparing the legislation and internal organization with world perspectives in terms of cooperation. The growing importance acquired by efforts to combat transnational crime is discussed, as well as the cooperation mechanisms in criminal matters applicable to money laundering crimes, the main conventions and treaties to which Brazil is a party and the records of the experience in comparative law. The analysis unfolds on the main aspects of tackling this type of criminality, and, finally, concludes with the imperative need to align domestic standards with international practices, in order to ensure the effectiveness of criminal prosecution, with strict observance of fundamental rights and guarantees, particularly at a time when the country is turning to a significant effort to combat corruption and the economic crimes driven by it.
