Laundering Techniques

Laundering techniques are methods used to conceal the origins of illegally obtained money, making it appear legitimate. Criminals often "layer" funds by moving money through complex transactions such as multiple bank accounts, shell companies, or overseas accounts to obscure its source. They may also use techniques like structuring deposits to avoid detection or purchasing valuable assets that can be resold. The goal is to integrate the illicit funds into the financial system seamlessly, so they look like legitimate income or assets, making it difficult for authorities to trace their illegal origins.
