Financial Crime

Financial crime encompasses a range of illegal activities that involve money and financial transactions. This includes fraud, where individuals or organizations deceive others to gain money; money laundering, which disguises the origins of illegally obtained funds; and embezzlement, where someone misappropriates funds they were trusted to manage. Other forms may include securities fraud, tax evasion, and identity theft. These crimes undermine the integrity of financial systems, hurt economies, and can lead to significant penalties for those involved. Preventing and addressing financial crime is crucial for maintaining trust in financial institutions and markets.
