Definition of Money Laundering:
As the name suggests, money laundering is washing one’s hands clean of criminal activities, by hiding money acquired through illegal means.
As one of the most common examples, a drug trafficker may disguise his or her source of income, by depositing the funds in a bank, and claiming it was obtained through some other means.
Most money laundering offenses are committed through banking transactions, whereby the offender will wire funds, exchange the money in a foreign market, draw a check, or conduct some other business with the financial institution.
Money Laundering has two defining factors:
- The money was laundered to support a criminal activity, or
- The money was laundered to hide an illegal activity
A person may be affiliated with money laundering, and may not even be aware of this. Some of the best defenses include not knowing where the money came from, or the operation was setup through police misconduct.
