independent criminal act


Explanation:
In relation to terrorist offences, the Hungarian legislator decided to set out, in
Subsection (4) of Section 261 HCC, a whole list of preparatory acts. Subsection (4)
constitutes an independent criminal act (so called delictum sui generis). - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/0aa8da28-c0bd-4e6d-aa... - page 198

Asker: Może delictum sui generis should be translated as crime of its own kind? Thank you for your wonderful help!

special illegal act


Explanation:
Idionymon (Greek: ιδιώνυμο, literally "that which has its own name", also translated as "special illegal act" or delictum sui generis), is a Greek legal term referring to a criminal offense which is treated distinctly from the general categories in the Greek Penal Code it would otherwise fit into (i.e. is given its own name) due to the particularity of the circumstances involved. [1] While the concept covers many commonplace criminal offenses, the term is used in particular to refer to a 1929 law directed against left-wing political dissidents who sought to violently overthrow the government.

W niektórych przypadkach ustawa formułuje z czynności przygotowawczych samoistny typ przestępstwa (sui generis). Tâk np. art. 132
k.k. SFRJ typizuje czynności polegające na kierowaniu i przerzucaniu
na terytorium SFRJ zbrojnych grup, broni i amunicji. (p. 4)

The reason this criminal charge is different from other crimes is because Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity is not a crime in its own right.

The concept of standalone money laundering is quite strange to practitioners who cannot visualize it as a sui generis offence.
