Money Laundering

Money laundering is a white collar crime that is committed when financial institutions try to cover up or conceal the source of their income.  Money laundering is also committed when financial institutions do not reveal the final destination of their revenue. 

In past years, money laundering was only associated with large criminal groups who wanted to conceal their financial gains from law enforcement.  Now days, money laundering is commonly committed by not only underground criminal groups, but also corporations and businesses.  In fact, there are many money laundering cases involving both large, public businesses and individually owned businesses.  In both cases, the businesses are committing money laundering to gain revenue, and may be violating tax laws or accounting best practices in the process. 

White collar crimes, such as money laundering, are classified as serious criminal offenses.  These types of crimes are not usually investigated by local law enforcement, but rather the State Attorney General’s Office, or federal agencies such as the FBI, IRS, and SEC.  After a person is believed to have committed a white collar crime, he/she will more than likely be subject to lengthy and invasive investigations from federal law enforcement and the government. 

For this reason, people should always consult with an experienced white collar crimes attorney when they have been charged with money laundering.  A white collar crimes lawyer can provide effective, reliable legal counsel and aggressive defense tactics to combat a person’s criminal charges.
