What is Money Laundering?
Money laundering is a serious offense involving concealing the origins of illegally obtained funds. It is often associated with organized crime, drug trafficking, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. Money laundering aims to make illegally obtained money appear legitimate by disguising its source and creating a paper trail obscuring the connection to criminal activities.
Money laundering typically involves three stages: placement, layering, and integration. During the placement stage, illicit funds are introduced into the financial system, often through deposits or purchases of assets. In the layering stage, the funds are moved through various transactions and accounts to make it easier to trace their origin. Finally, in the integration stage, the laundered money is reintroduced into the legitimate economy, seemingly derived from legal sources.
