Received Notice for Money Laundering Case: Before appearing on summons at Enforcement Directorate and recording your statements, please make sure you've consulted with Ozg Lawyers


The offence of Money Laundering generally involve the following three stages namely placement, layering and integration.


πŸ“Œ Placement:

The Money Launderer, who is holding the money generated from criminal activities, introduces the illegal funds into the financial systems. This might be done by breaking up large amount of money into less conspicuous smaller sums which are deposited directly into a Bank Account or by purchasing a series of financial products.

πŸ“Œ Layering:

In this stage, the Money Launderer typically engages in a series of continuous conversions or movements of funds, within the financial or banking system by way of numerous accounts, so as to hide their true origin and to distance them from their criminal source. The Money Launderer may use various channels for movement of funds, like a series of Bank Accounts, sometimes spread across the globe, especially in those jurisdictions which do not cooperate in anti-money laundering investigations.

πŸ“Œ Integration:

Having successfully processed through the first two stages of Money Laundering, the Launderer then moves to this third stage in which the funds reach the legitimate economy, after getting inseparably mixed with the legitimate money earned through legal sources of income. The Money Launderer might then choose to invest the funds into real estate, business ventures & luxury assets, etc. so that he can enjoy the laundered money, without any fear of law enforcement agencies.

The above three steps may not always follow each other. At times, illegal money may be mixed with legitimate money, even prior to placement in the financial system. In certain cash rich businesses like Gambling and Real Estate, the proceeds of crime may be invested without entering the mainstream financial system at all.
