Do you know exactly what money laundering is? Do you believe to be exempt from ever being accused of committing this offense?

For the money or asset laundering offense to be committed, there must have been a previous criminal activity, that is to say, an offense that resulted in monetary income and by being obtained illegally is nothing but ¨dirty¨ money that might be have made through: thefts, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, terrorism, human trafficking, large vice rings, fraud, misappropriation of public funds, tax avoidance, etc.

Before this obtained money can be in circulation as cash, it needs to be laundered and for that there are methods that can be used.
