Washington Money Laundering Charges
Money laundering is the process of engaging in financial transactions in order to conceal the source and/or destination of illegally obtained funds. In previous years, money laundering referred only to financial transactions related to organized crime, but today, money laundering refers to any financial transaction which generates an asset or value as the result of an illegal act, such as tax evasion or false accounting. Money laundering can be practiced by individuals, small and large businesses, officials, and criminal organizations.
When criminal activity generates substantial profits, the individual or group involved must find a way to control the funds without attracting attention to the illegal activity that is generating the funds. By disguising the sources, changing the forms, and moving the funds to a place where they will be less likely to attract attention, money laundering is committed.
