Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism are serious crimes that threaten to destabilize societies and the economies. A large number of criminal acts is committed just to generate profits for the individuals behind the act. Without the possibility to use the illegally generated money, there would be limited incentive to commit these crimes.
Money laundering is the processing of these criminal proceeds to disguise their illegal origin. This process is of critical importance, as it enables the criminal to enjoy these profits.
Consequently, preventing and investigating money laundering effectively is of utmost importance. If crimes are committed as a profession, it needs professionals to follow the trail of the money.
