Money laundering is often described as y goccurring in three stages: placement, layering, and integration.Placement: refers to the initial point of entry Placement: refers to the initial point of entry for funds derived from criminal activities. Layering: refers to the creation of complex
t k f t ti hi h tt t t networks of transactions which attempt to obscure the link between the initial entry point, and the end of the laundering cycle. g yIntegration: refers to the return of funds to the legitimate economy for later extraction.

Money laundering is a complex process, which is y g p paccomplished through three main phases. The first phase is the physical disposal of the cash, i.e. placing the proceeds of predicate criminal activities into bank or non-p pbank financial institutions in order to disguise their illegal origins and make them appear to be legitimate funds. This may include the use of ‘front’ businesses such yas hotels, cinemas or casinos that may reasonably claim to do business in cash. It may also involve the use of ‘smurfing’ techniques, through which launderers make g q , gnumerous deposits of amounts of money that are small enough to avoid raising suspicion or triggering reporting mechanisms. This process is called ‘placement’. p p

The second phase is the movement of funds from i i i i i i hid h i i i d institution to institution to hide their origins and ownership, termed ‘layering’. It consists of putting the funds, which have entered into the financial system, through series of financial operations to mislead through series of financial operations to mislead potential investigators and to give the funds the appearance of having legal origins. For this launderers use financial institutions that provide legally protected use a c a st tut o s t at p o de ega y p otected banking or offshore mechanisms. The final stage is to integrate criminal assets into the mainstream of commerce and investment in an ostensibly legitimate business. This is termed ‘integration’. The funds may be re-introduced into the economy through, for instance, the purchase of luxury it th h i t t i t h h i items or through investment in assets such as shares in companies and real estate.

The main objectives of money launderers are thus to l h i f d i h fi i l i h place their funds in the financial system without
arousing suspicion, to move them around, often after a series of complex transactions crossing multiple jurisdictions so that it becomes difficult to identify their jurisdictions so that it becomes difficult to identify their original sources, and finally to move the funds back into the financial and business systems so that they appear legitimate. appea eg t ate.
Money laundering is performed systematically and clandestinely making it difficult to identify exactly clandestinely, making it difficult to identify exactly how much money is involved, what methods are employed and what the magnitude of the problem is. Likewise, secrecy makes it difficult to establish the ymagnitude of funds used for the funding of terrorism.
