Introduction
Approximately
5% of the world's money is obtained as a result of criminal conduct and
laundered through the financial system. When acting on their behalf, lawyers,
accountants, bankers, estate agents and financial advisers assist the money
launderers by helping them use their monies, either by investing in property and
businesses or enjoying luxurious holiday homes, expensive fast cars and
exquisite jewellery.
The
international authorities expect you, as a person working in the professional
services sector, to assist in the fight to bring these money launderers to justice,
and if you miss the obvious signs of money laundering you will be guilty of a
serious criminal offence yourself and subject to possible imprisonment.
After

laundering regime works, where it comes from, how the problem of money
laundering is tackled internationally and what you need to look out for. The
