Investigating Money Laundering
Intermediate
Online
Description
Money-laundering operations are designed to take the proceeds of illegal activity, such as profits from fraud, and disguise the existence, source or application of those funds so the proceeds appear to come from a legitimate source. In short, “dirty money” is made to appear clean. Once illegal money has been laundered, the perpetrator is able to spend or invest the illicit income in legitimate assets.
