Drug Money Laundering

Drug money laundering is the process through which individuals or organizations disguise the illegal origins of money earned from drug trafficking. After selling drugs, they may try to make this “dirty” money appear “clean” by funneling it through legitimate businesses, transferring it to different accounts, or using complex financial transactions. The goal is to hide the money’s connection to drug offenses, allowing them to use it without drawing suspicion. This practice is illegal and is subject to law enforcement scrutiny as part of broader efforts to combat drug-related crime.
