Money laundering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Money laundering is the practice of engaging in financial transactions to conceal the identity, source, and/or destination of illegally gained money. In the United Kingdom the common law definition is wider: "taking any action with property of any form which is either wholly or in part the proceeds of a crime that will disguise the fact that the property is the proceeds of a crime or obscure the beneficial ownership of said property." It is common to refer to money legally obtained as "clean", and money illegally obtained as "dirty". In the past, the term money laundering was applied only to financial transactions related to organized crime . Today its definition is often expanded by government and international regulators such as the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to mean any financial transaction which generates an asset or a value as the result of an illegal act , which may involve actions such as tax evasion or false accounting . In the UK, it does not even need to involve money, but any

MONEY LAUNDERING HOME BIOLOGY FILMS GEOGRAPHY ... SPORT Money laundering , the metaphorical "cleaning of money" with regards to appearances in law, is the practice of engaging in specific financial transactions in order to conceal the identity, source and/or destination of money and is a main operation of underground economy. In the past, the term "money laundering" was applied only to financial transactions related to organized crime. Today its definition is often expanded by government regulators (such as the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), to encompass any financial transaction which generates an asset or a value as the result of an illegal act, which may involve actions such as tax evasion or false accounting. As a result, the illegal activity of money laundering is now recognized as potentially practiced by individuals, small and large business, corrupt officials, members of organized crime (such as drug dealers or the Mafia) or of cults, and even corrupt states or intelligence agencies, through a complex network of shell companies based in offshore tax havens. The increasing complexity of financial crime, the increasing recognised value of so-called "financial intelligence" (FININT) in combating transnational crime and terrorism, and the speculated impact of capital extracted from the legitimate economy has led to an increased prominence of money laundering in political, economic and legal debate. In many jurisdictions, money laundering is seen as an "activity based" offense.

Money laundering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Money laundering is something some criminals do to the money they make from crime . When a criminal does money laundering, the criminal tries to make it hard for the police to find out where the criminal got the money. One way criminals do money laundering is by using the money to buy things (like gold and silver shares or casino chips) and then selling those things to get the money back. If a criminal buys and sells things many times it is hard for the police to find out where the criminal got the money. Some countries have laws to try to stop money laundering. These laws help the police to find out when criminals try to do money laundering. Under the laws in some countries, business people must: tell the Government when someone pays them a lot of money (for example $10,000) or when someone puts a lot of money in their bank tell the Government if they think someone is doing money laundering, and write down on paper, or in a computer , every time someone gives them a lot of money or they give someone a lot of money.

Schroeder Next A Global Threat and the International Community's Response A new era of globalization has emerged, and it is shrinking the world and shaping domestic politics and international relationships. [1] Globalization involves the international integration of capital, technology, and information in a manner resulting in a single global market and, to some degree, a global village. [2] This integration enables individuals and corporations to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper, and cheaper than ever before. However, the same aspects of globalization that have expanded opportunities for free-market capitalism also have resulted in new risks. Globalization has turned the international financial system into a money launderer's dream, siphoning off billions of dollars a year from economies around the world and extending the reach of organized crime. This unintended consequence of globalization presents a serious challenge to law enforcement agencies and financial regulators. Because globalization represents an overarching international phenomenon, the international community's response to the challenge posed by money laundering has to address the financial, legal, and enforcement issues in a universal manner, through harmonization of remedies. Understanding the global threat of money laundering and the international community's response will assist investigators pursuing the evidentiary trail of a launderer by identifying the enforcement tools and techniques developed to overcome obstacles encountered when crossing international boundaries.

criminal law lawyers Home Advertise Money laundering Home Terms Laundering Email Print Share This Text Size Money laundering Money laundering is any illegal activity related to moving illegally acquired money through financial systems so that the funds appear to be legally acquired. Money laundering can include any act designed to conceal the nature, location, source, control, or ownership of money so as to hide the fact that it was acquired illegally, to avoid legal reporting requirements, or some other deceitful objective. Money laundering can often be related to other serious criminal offenses including: drug trafficking, terrorism, white collar crime, organized crime, tax evasion, and public corruption. The laws regarding the crime of money laundering are numerous, complex, and extremely stringent. The major federal statutes related to money laundering are the Bank Secrecy Act, including the US Patriot Act, and the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986. These laws extend a broad and comprehensive reach over domestic and international, formal and informal anti-money laundering efforts. Particularly following the terrorist activities of September 11, 2001, the federal government has made the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing a top priority on the US domestic and international political, legal, financial, and diplomatic agenda. Most anti- money laundering statutes include sections which: make money laundering a crime, require numerous institutions to comply with anti-money laundering programs, establish regulatory and reporting standards, methods of information exchange, and penalties for non-compliance with these requirements. The United States Treasury Department issues the National Money Laundering Strategy every year to outline the specific federal strategy to attack money laundering and terrorist financing on all fronts. This involves a high level of coordination and cooperation with domestic and foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions, government agencies, and more.
