Abstract
El lavado de activos, cuyo objetivo es integrar capitales ilícitos en la economía formal, representa una seria amenaza para la estabilidad económica y la integridad de las instituciones a nivel mundial. El objetivo es analizar la interacción entre el delito de lavado de activos y el derecho al asilo político en América Latina. El enfoque es cualitativo, basado en una revisión de literatura siguiendo la metodología PRISMA durante el periodo 2021-2025. Se realizó la búsqueda en las bases de datos Dialnet, Scielo, Latindex y Redalyc. Tras la aplicación de los criterios de elegibilidad fueron elegidos 15 artículos elegidos para la revisión. Los resultados resaltan la necesidad de fortalecer los mecanismos legales para diferenciar entre persecución política legítima y evasión de justicia. Se concluyó que, si bien el asilo político es fundamental para proteger a individuos de persecuciones específicas, este estudio advierte sobre el riesgo de que personas presuntamente involucradas en lavado de activos lo utilicen indebidamente.
