GET PAID PAYROLL

Meaning of Money Laundering

Money laundering is the process by which, criminals attempt to legitimise the source of their funds (often, but not exclusively, in the form of large quantities of cash) and change the form of the proceeds, to render it more readily usable. The basic money laundering process has three steps:

 

Placement

This is the placing of the bulk cash proceeds. At this stage, the launderer inserts the dirty money into a legitimate financial institution.

 

Layering

This involves hiding the proceeds from their criminal origin by “layers” of transactions. Layering involves sending the money through various financial transactions to change its form and make it difficult to follow.

 

Integration

Devising a legitimate explanation for the proceeds. At the integration stage, the money re-enters the mainstream economy in legitimate-looking form it appears to come from a legal transaction. This may involve a final bank transfer into the account of a local business in which the launderer is "investing" in exchange for a cut of the profits.

 

Criminal property is the benefit of any crime, in whole or any part, whether direct or indirect. It does not matter who committed the crime or who benefited or when the crime took place. These offences may be punishable on conviction by up to 14 years imprisonment and/or a fine.
