Description:
Money laundering is now the most modern way of highly and smart criminals to hide their loot in huge amounts and prevent detection by lawful authorities. Before the enactment of Anti-Money Laundering Law, the ill-gotten wealth derived from smuggling graft and corruption, illegal drug trade, kidnapping for ransom, fraudulent transactions, illegal sale of alcoholic beverages are so manipulated to make it appear that they come from legitimate business. It is a way of ensuring that crime pays. Money laundering is a camouflage that the ill-gotten money is a semblance of legitimate earning.
