What is Money Laundering?

Money laundering involves creating the appearance that money from serious crimes has a legitimate origin. It includes three phases:

• Placement: Moving illicit money into the financial system.
• Layering: Using complex transactions to conceal origins.
• Integration: Using cleaned money to buy legitimate assets.

Money Laundering Offences

Under the Proceeds of Crimes Act 2002, money laundering offences include:

• Concealing: Disguising or moving criminal property.
• Arranging: Enabling the acquisition or control of criminal property.
• Acquisition, Use, or Possession: Knowing or suspecting property is criminal.

Convictions can lead to severe penalties, including up to 14 years imprisonment.

Money Laundering Regulations 2007

These regulations require financial institutions, legal professionals, and others to have processes to identify and report suspected money laundering. Non-compliance is an offence.
